South Africa

South Africa is a land of contrasts, with magnificent National Parks which are home to some of the finest wildlife on the continent, beautiful landscapes ranging from the parched Karoo to the high peaks of the Drakensberg, booming cities where the high rise blocks and bustling streets resemble Europe or America, and small villages in rural areas that could be almost anywhere in Africa. South Africa has emerged from a traumatic past with an extraordinary sense of unity, and there's never been a better time to discover this remarkable country.
