SOUTH
AFRICA: |
South
Africa’s travel slogan,” A world in one country”
is very fitting as South Africa has something for everyone.
From lush tropical forests to open savannah ,from arid
deserts to pristine beaches, from the mountains to the
bushveld. You can escape to wild and remote parks and
experience exceptional game viewing and then just an hour’s
flight away, experience modern cities and sophisticated
hotels that compete with the best in the world. South
Africa is a fascinating society where African meets European,
and modern meets traditional, where global trends rub
shoulders with ancient customs. A mosaic of influences
and traditions, a melting pot of cultures. Come
and visit a rainbow nation!
Perhaps it’s a night drive in the African bush or
a multi-national business deal. Maybe it’s soaring
over Table Mountain or being pampered in style. Whatever
you’re looking for – a warm African welcome
to South Africa!
Cape
Town and the Garden Route:
Cape Town is widely described as one of the world’s
most desirable and beautiful destinations, nestled under
Table Mountain and situated between the Indian Ocean and
the Atlantic Ocean. It is a city with broad boulevards,
bustling markets and the famous Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
next to the harbour. Cape Town offers a host of cultural
and adventure activities, as well as a wealth of marine
life (including whales, seals, penguins and great white
sharks).Cape town also offers a vibrant nightlife. A short
ferry ride from the V & A Waterfront is the historic
Robben Island, a symbol of triumph and hope where Nelson
Mandela was imprisoned for more than 17 years. Cape Town
is located within one of the great floral kingdoms of
the world. There are more plant species in and around
Cape Town than in all of North America! |

mere 40 minute drive from the heart of Cape Town is the
dramatic beauty of the Cape Winelands, home to the charming
historic towns and gabled manor houses of South Africa’s
oldest wine estates. The Winelands were established in the
17th century by French Hugenots fleeing persecution in Europe.
One of the Winelands most beautiful towns is Franschhoek,
a historic hamlet which lies in a picturebook valley deep
in the heart of Cape wine country. Flanked by towering blue
mountains and bright green vineyards, it is famed for its
natural beauty and acknowledged as the culinary capital
of South Africa. |
