The regular exchange with your Swedish compatriots is also an important aspect of the expat experience and can help you get accustomed to the South African culture and people. InterNations helps you meet and interact with other Swedes in South Africa, living in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and many other places across the country. Just take a look at our group ofSwedes in Johannesburg orSwedes in Cape Town.

Take Part in Various Expat Activities to Meet Fellow Swedes in South Africa

Additionally, you are cordially invited to participate in our regular expat events and activities taking place in South Africa. Our events cover various interests and range from a small expat dinner to enjoy the traditional South African bobotie, to big expat get-togethers with hundreds of guests in Cape Town's top locations. You may also join one of our expat excursions for a weekend trip together with a group of fellow Swedes in Pretoria to visit the Cape of Good Hope, the wilderness trails of Kruger National park, and other impressive landmarks across South Africa.
