Why South Africa
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. 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. South Africa continues to amaze first time visitors because it offers much more than just "Bive 5" game viewing. It also offers things like:
*Some of the best and most affordable golfing in the world
*Outstanding wines and wine route touring
*Cultural encounters with Zulu communities
*Historical touring - from ancient San rock art sites to battlefield sites from the British/Zulu/Boer Wars
*World class whale watching, bird watching and shark diving and regular diving
