Keep in mind that June and July are winter months in South Africa. Warm layers are very important, as evening temperatures can dip down into the high 30s. We ask that you are respectful to cultural sensitivities and cover your knees/shoulders during the community service projects and while traveling in public with your group.
In the event that your luggage is delayed or lost in transit, we want you to be prepared. Therefore, wear tennis or hiking shoes on the plane. Plus, pack the following items from this packing list in your daypack / school backpack carry-on:
These items are already included in the packing list – they are not additional items!
During your trip you will stay in a variety of accommodations: Tented safari camps, hotels, and lodges(all single gender).
Eating utensils (plates and cutlery) will be provided throughout the trip.
If you have any special dietary restrictions/ considerations, please contact the Moondance office for further information.

We highly recommend that all students fly on the same flight from Atlanta (ATL) to Johannesburg (JNB)
• We also highly recommend making your flight reservation through our partnered travel agency, Exito. They are familiar with all Moondance flights. Please follow this link to start the booking process.
• Remember when booking your child’s flight to allow at least a 3-hour layover in any connecting airport to avoid missed connections or baggage delays
Moondance highly recommends that your child fly on the direct flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg. If your child chooses to fly with the group from Atlanta, it is imperative that every student arrives in Atlanta in a timely fashion. If one individual does not arrive in Atlanta on time to make the group flight, it can delay the entire trip.
