South Africa - A land of diversity
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 traveler 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 epicenters. 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. Covering a huge swathe of land, washed by the Atlantic and Indian
oceans, South Africa has enormous wealth above and below ground,
making it one of the richest natural storehouses on the planet. With
staggeringly beautiful rural areas such as the Cape Winelands, the
towering dunes of the Wild Coast, the magnificent game parks of
Kruger and Zululand, and the Kalahari and Karoo deserts, barren for
much of the year but a carpet of flowers in spring, the
possibilities for tourists are endless. Alternatively, visit
sophisticated cities such as Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape
Town, or charming historic towns like Stellenbosch or
Pietermaritzburg. Even once infamous townships such as Soweto are
now growing into vibrant cities in their own right. |
