Rotary District 9350, to quote from District's webage, covers a large part of the Southern African sub-continent, incorporating the whole of Angola and Namibia, and the western part of the Republic of SouthAfrica. It covers an area of 2.4 million square kilometres reaching from the Angolan border in the north to the southern tip of Africa - a distance of 3 200 kilometres and is an average of 600 kilometres wide along it's entire length.
Hout Bay Rotary Club is one of nearly sixty clubs contributing to this powerful arm of Rotary activity in possibly the most beautiful part of Southern Africa, with its wide diversity of culture contributing to a vibrant lifestyle. Hout Bay is about thirty minutes drive from the Centre of Cape Town, the "Mother City" for South Africa, where is housed the country's Parliament.
