South Africa is one of the most diverse and captivating countries in the world. Fascinating combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture offer a unique and inspiring experience.
It’s one of the most beautiful countries on the planet with over 3000km of extensive coastline that stretches along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent. Few can match this country’s natural heritage which is made up of pristine beaches, spectacular mountains and fascinating wildlife – including the ‘Big Five’, giraffes, zebras and many other species (think majestic whales). We have eight World Heritage Sites as well as picturesque seaside towns, cheerful villages and lively cities.
In South Africa we have about 19 locations where Ywam is active. Not every location run school but most of them do. Here is a list of some of the locations:
To appreciate South Africa you need to spend time outdoors, as many locals do, hiking, biking, surfing, sunbathing or picnicking – or as the locals call it: having a lekker(tasty) braai(barbeque). South Africa is one of the adventure capitals of the world hence why it is host to “the world’s most beautiful” Two Oceans Marathon. You could have a peaceful stroll through one of our world-famous botanical gardens or wildlife parks. Go whale watching, explore waterfronts or just go for a walk along the seaside. Visit some of our art galleries, museums or live musical events (jazz is what we’re about). Wander through markets or down famous streets. Go sandboarding, skating or hiking (imagine a view of the sunrise from the peak of the spectacular Table Mountain or Lion’s Head).

It is not only the scenery that makes South Africa spectacular, but it’s more so the unique people that you’ll find here. South Africa hosts a wonderfully wide variety of lively, rich cultures, each having their own history and set of traditions. It has claimed its title as the “Rainbow Nation” due to the great multi-culturalism within the people who are of many different backgrounds – resulting in our country’s astounding 11 official languages! This diversity is what you will get to participate in and experience when you come into one of the YWAM South Africa bases.
YWAM Muizenberg is a multi-cultural, missional community who embraces, equips, and launches all people into all nations to reveal Christ and His Kingdom.
