Southern Africa is a part of the world where the so-called "first world" and the "third world" are meeting each other face to face day by day. Cities like Cape Town or Johannesburg are giving the traveller the feeling of being somewhere in Europe, the States or Australia; at the same time the townships, rural villages, the people in the streets are telling the couscious traveller, that she/he is not in a used environment, but on a different continent. And that is somehow what travelling is all about - to explore and experience foreign countries, the people, their history and current problems.
Volunteering, responsible travelling, eco tourism, fair tourism therefore became catchwords of recent years trying to explain that many of today's travellers don't only want to rush through a country, but want to explore and experience it in different ways. Many "conscious" travellers of today want to combine all the "traditional" elements of travelling - history, arts, geography, adventure, people etc. - with a vountary service to the destination.
