Default Cheapest country in SE Africa?

Which would be the cheapest and easiest country in Southern Africa to
visit with a group of students?

How large is the group, what age and how motivated ? Such factors may open
some possibilities. But generally speaking, moving a group around with
tolerable amounts of complication and at an acceptable price requires a
country with much infrastructure, and only South Africa really qualifies.
It is not impossible to do elsewhere, just a significant bit harder : less
reliable means of transportation, a less dense public transportation
network and a less developed tourism industry all contribute to higher
costs and make your schedule more prone to severe slips. So depending on
your elasticity to risk and price you may consider other countries and
carefully examine the level of support you can get there. Meanwhile .za is
the safe default choice.

Easiest - certainly South Africa.
But what is it that you want these students to see and do?
