Before You Book Air Tickets - Planning time in the Cape
A number of attendees are planning to spend time in Cape Town or surroundings before and/or after the Reunion. The Cape Town Jazz Festival is the weekend following the Reunion and you may want to consider attending. There will also be those who go from the Reunion on Friday April 1st to Cape Town for the weekend. We strongly recommend that you consider this before locking in air ticket limitations. Active discussion of such plans is likely to take place on the Facebook Group. You can also contact the tour organizer for assistance with hotel bookings at the Protea in Stellenbosch outside the actual reunion dates. Also see Alumni offering travel services below.

Insurance
It is your responsibility to take out your own insurance upon confirmation of the trip. It is STRONGLY recommended that you do so - to cover yourself and any guests for accidents, medical and emergency travel expenses, loss of luggage, cancellation and curtailment.
