The Entry Experience: South Africa | Interest List Deadline
This event marks the **interest deadline** for *The Entry Experience: South Africa* — a small, guided travel-planning experience designed for women who want to thoughtfully plan their own journey to South Africa with clarity, confidence, and cultural awareness.
This is **not a group trip**.
Instead, The Entry Experience supports women who are:
* Considering South Africa within the next 12–18 months
* Planning to travel solo, with a partner, or with a small family
* Looking for structure, insight, and trusted guidance *before* booking
Participation is intentionally limited.
Those who join the interest list by this date will:
* Be the first to receive registration details
* Receive full information once enrollment opens
* Have priority access before the experience fills
There is **no obligation** to join by adding your name to the interest list.
This simply signals that South Africa is a destination you are genuinely considering.
If you’ve been curious about South Africa but want to plan with intention—this is your moment to raise your hand.
**Interest list link is available here below:**
