“This trip to South Africa was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I learned so much, not only about the culture and history of South Africa, but also about myself. For anyone who is in the starting stages of their careers, I believe fully understanding different perspectives is crucial. This trip can provide that with countless eye-opening activities. I had an amazing time and can only say that because of Emzingo!”
