South Africa

South Africa caught the imagination of the world with Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in 1991, followed by the peaceful, first democratic elections in 1994. South Africa is an enigma in that it is neither First World nor Third World. We are neither exclusively modern African nor European. What we do have in South Africa are blends and elements of the “Africa of old”, today’s Africa and the New-World. In parts of the country, visitors can escape to wild and remote parks and experience exceptional game viewing and true wilderness. Then, just an hour’s flight away, we have modern cities and hotels that compete with the best in the world. We are culturally diverse, with eleven different official languages which enrich ever traveler’s experience! We have an entire and unique Floral Kingdom in and around one of the world’s most beautiful cities—Cape Town. There are more naturally occurring, different species of flowers just around Cape Town than there are in the whole of North America or the whole of Europe. Everywhere one goes the scenery is different. We have lush tropical forests, open savannah and many diverse and fascinating World Heritage Sites. South Africa also has deserts and arid areas, including the world’s first trans-frontier National Park—The Kgalagadi Trans-Frontier Park. The travel, slogan “A world in one country”, is very fitting. South Africa has something for everyone.
