Situated at the southern edge of the African continent, South Africa is bounded by oceans on three sides with an interior characterised by an assortment of habitats, from lush tropical forests, pristine coastlines to arid deserts, mountains to open bushveld savannah.
Since the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa has become one of the worldās top travel destinations, blending āAfrica of oldā elements with modernity.
From spectacular Cape Town, the quaint farmsteads and valleys of the Winelands and the scenic Garden Route drive to quintessential African safaris infamous Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve or Timbavati Reserve. Its colonial past can be witnessed in the battlefields of the KwaZulu Natal region, and its more recent history continues to fascinate, with Robben Island receiving many visitors year after year.
There is so much more to South Africa than a Safari!
