When the continents first shifted, Africa was blessed with many natural gifts. Nowhere is this more evident, than at the continent's southern-most tip - for this land at the foot of the African continent is one of immeasurable beauty and great contrast. 

Many species of bird flocked to South Africa - the same winds that aided them also bearing countless spores. These took root in the fertile earth, giving rise to a vast floral kingdom. Herds of game, thousands strong wandered here along ancient migratory trails, followed by marauding predators like lion, leopard and cheetah. 

The first people to call South Africa home, were the San - evidence of their harmonious, nomadic existence is still found in their ancient rock art. Proud nations of warriors forged their way south - expanding their dynasties and kingdoms. 

Wandering herdsmen came in search of grazing for their cattle. Gold, diamonds and the spirit of adventure drew explorers and pioneers from all over the globe. 

Over time, different peoples settled in this land - and now it is home to many cultures. Yet despite their diversity, all have come to think of themselves as South Africans. United by their deep-rooted love for this land - a land so beautiful, it binds all in a shared vision of hope and prosperity. 

Visit this land of wonder. Rediscover nature and experience this living example of the triumph of unity over diversity.
