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.

South Africa is a rainbow nation of many colours and cultures, encompassing Zulu, Tswana, Khosa, Sotho, Indian, Afrikaans and those of British origin. The scars left by the apartheid years are slowly healing, but have left huge inequalities between rich and poor. Despite this, the people are charming hosts, most speak English and all have a fascinating story to tell. The crime rate is still far too high, but with a little common sense, travellers can have a perfect, safe holiday.

  • Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve
    Opened in 1985 as Kiepersol, the privately owned Rhine & Lion Nature Reserve has, over two decades, rapidly grown from its initial small beginnings (two rhino and some antelope) to over 600 head from an impressive list of 25 species. In addition to a number of indigenous species that the Reserve has reintroduced to the area, including white lions and the endangered Cape wild dog, the Reserve also boasts more exotic alien species, such as the Bengal tiger.
  • Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden
    Using the natural terrain as well as some landscaped areas, the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden (formerly the Witwatersrand Botanical Garden) features indigenous plants, rare species and themed displays for visitors to enjoy.
  • Lion Park
    Epitomising everyone's idea of African wildlife, the king of the jungle - or more correctly the savannah - can be seen at close quarters in the specially-designed 208-hectare Lion Park, just north of Johannesburg.
  • Wonder Cave
    Close to the Sterkfontein Caves, which have revealed early hominid remains that have proved fundamental to our understanding of our species' ancestry, is the Wonder Cave. Estimated to be 2.2 million years old, only recently - since 1991 in fact - has the cave been open to visitors, who can view its remarkable stalagtites and stalagmites.
  • Lesedi Cultural Village
    Lesedi means "light", and you can discover the warm welcome of four different South African tribes at this hut village in the Bushveld.
