South Africa is a large and varied country, offering stunning scenery, with vast contrasts from beaches and coast, wide open plains and farmland, and arid deserts to the high snow-capped Drakensberg mountains.
Here you can blend modern African culture, Bantu tribes and the colonial eclectic mix of folk whose ancestors originated from Indonesia, Madagascar or Europe. One of the most attractive parts is the Cape with its vineyards, dramatic scenery with a Mediterranean touch and Cape Dutch colonial arquitecture. Another popular place are the sybaritic lodges in the Sabi Sands and Kruger national park areas, where you can enjoy a cocktail of spas, fine wines and food, with almost guaranteed Big Five (lion leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo) sightings.
