Medium haul destinations have a smaller time difference and shorter travelling time than long haul destinations. This means that fewer days are “wasted” travelling and recovering from jet lag, allowing the team to get started with the tour straight away and not waste any days recovering from the flight.

South Africa in particular makes a brilliant medium haul destination because the 10 hour flight can be done overnight and there is only an hour time difference meaning that, if you wanted to, you can tour south Africa in 10 days. Because of these reasons we found that it is ideal for groups who have parents accompanying the group as they can afford to take a few days off work.

These tours are suited for age ranging from U13/U14 upwards. Due to a range of the size of the country and travelling distances required, the suggested minimum time required to visit this country is 10 days
