No matter where you wander in South Africa, you will enjoy unique and unforgettable experiences. 

Come - gaze upon ever changing, endless vistas. Feel the warmth of tropical and temperate climates. Explore areas of fynbos, forest, Karoo or savannah - each home to an incredible array of flora. See the floral carpets in Namaqualand stretch to the horizon in springtime. Walk the cycad valleys in the northern Province - unchanged since prehistoric times and home to Modjadji the Rain Queen. Stand in the shadow of a giant baobab tree - the ancient guardians of the north. Or picnic in the Kirstenbosch Gardens of the fair Cape - home to more that 6000 species of plant and tree. 

In this well-preserved natural heritage, you will discover South Africa's cultural riches - equally unspoiled: the beehive huts of the Zulu people, Ndebele artwork and jewellery and the traditional dress of the Xhosa people. Sculptures, weaving, paintings, songs and dances. In every sight, sound and texture, you will catch glimpses of ancient cultures. In fact, South Africa is home to three world heritage sites. The Sterkfontein Caves - where humankind first stood up straight and our consciousness awakened. This wonder of palaeontology is a mere twenty minutes from the modern metropolis of Johannesburg.

From Cape Town, a short ferry trip takes you to Robben Island and Nelson Mandela's prison cell, where you can experience the view that kept the dream of freedom for his people and his country alive. North of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, you can visit the great estuarine lake of St. Lucia - home to hippopotamus and crocodile and a birdwatcher's paradise.
