South Africa Travel Guide

Never let the non-descript name fool you. The southern most-nation on the African continent defies simple description. Profound natural beauty, tremendous resource potential, a remarkable history and an impressive blending of African and global immigrant populations make SA a unique destination. Self declared in years gone by as the world in one country, many ecosystems, geologic formations and an amazing spectrum of flora and fauna can fill years worth of travel. The magical Table Mountain whether climbed, hiked, painted or picnicked upon has inspired generations. Any of the six floral kingdom gardens outside Capetown are bound to stun amateur to seasoned botanists. History and nature buffs can practically drown in the wealth of possibilities in the majestic Drakensberg Mountains. The ski season is very brief unless one doesn’t mind mixing it up a bit with Kalahari Desert sand surfing or skiing. Kruger National Park safaris are legendary and tilted towards conservation. Extreme adventurers come from far and wide to cage or free dive with the last of the protected Great White and Sand Tiger sharks. Some of the biggest and most ferocious pipelines worshipped by surfers worldwide offer not just extreme adventure but a whole way of life of which most of us can only dream.
