 South
Africa is one of the most diverse and enchanting countries
in the world. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people,
history and culture offer a larger-than-life experience
for the traveller in search of a truly unique and inspiring
experience.
South
Africa’s vast landscape includes savannahs, snow-covered
mountains, forests, tropical swamps, endless beaches, tranquil
rivers and… bustling urban epicentres.
South Africa is known for its abundant wildlife (and of
course the famous "big five") as well as its fantastic
birding and eco-tourism possibilities.
However,
the real heart of this vibrant country is the diversity
of people and cultures. South Africa’s family tree
goes way back to the start of time. The country has been
touted as the Cradle of Humankind, because it was here that
archaeologists discovered 2,5 million year old fossils as
well as the 100 000 year old remains of modern humankind.
Many
of South Africa’s cultures have their roots in an ancient
world, whilst some of the cultures are relatively new –
and others, well, are a fascinating mix of both.
