Discover South Africa - The Rainbow Nation

World-renowned for its politically controversial past and its remarkably peaceful transition to majority rule in the early 1990's, South Africa has rapidly grown into the commercial, industrial and tourism hub of southern Africa. With a hugely diverse landscape and an equally varied cultural mix of people, this vast country at the southern tip of Africa is proudly known as 'The Rainbow Nation' or 'The World in One Country'.

Stretching from the iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town up to the huge conservation area that is the Kruger National Park and encompassing an extensive and rugged coastline, wide open expanses, some of the continents highest mountain ranges, fantastic wildlife areas and a broad network of tourist hotels, lodges, boutique hotels and guesthouses, South Africa is a complete holiday destination. There really are few countries around the globe that can lay claim to such a hugely varied cultural, geographical, floral and faunal diversity and the number of options available to international tourists is quite staggering.

View 'The Big 5' from the comfort of an open game drive vehicle, taste some of the globes finest wines, explore fascinating towns and villages along the famous 'Garden Route', get inspired by a hands-on community development project, dive with Great White Sharks, uncover the rise and fall of 'Apartheid' or simply soak up the sun on a golden beach - the choice is yours!
