We took a large group of nearly 60 Doctor of Ministry students with George
Fox University for an educational program in Cape Town. Embrace South
Africa tours provided a first-class food, transit, and lodging experience.
Most of all, they hosted us with a genuine spirit of hospitality. We cannot
recommend Embrace South Africa tours highly enough! - Dr LOREN
KERNS, Director Portland Seminary, George Fox University, Portland OR
The care for each individual, the attention to detail, and the relationships
that are built are outstanding! It is, indeed, a trip of a lifetime that is not to
