The World In One Country...

As today is the last day of Africa Month 31st May... and our destination spotlight for the week. It only seemed fitting to showcase my home country South Africa.

South Africa, Mzansi, Suid Afrika, the Rainbow Nation... This colourful African nation at the southern-most tip of the continent has many names and offers a veritable world in one country, from fascinating cultures and a rich, varied history to dramatic landscapes, amazing people and incredible wildlife. 

Diversity is South Africa's middle name and it's something that you'll find no matter where you travel in this wonderful country, From the Cradle of Humankind, where some of the oldest remains of man's ancient ancestors have been found, to the spectacular Table Mountain towering over the Mother City of Cape Town and the colour and culture of Soweto, its largest township, there's a wealth of things to see and do.

South Africa's history dates back long before the arrival of the first Europeans in 1652. The first human inhabitants were the San people, Africa's First Nation people from whom modern humankind has descended. The powerful civilisations of Mapungubwe and Thulamela were thriving more than a thousand years ago and have given way to a vibrant, 21st century country with bustling cities, expansive, modern infrastructure and world-class facilities.

It's also renowned as one of the world's best adventure destinations, with more than 130 adventure activities on offer (and counting!) This means there's something for even the most discerning adrenaline junkie!

South Africa's natural beauty is beyond compare, from the breathtaking Blyde River Canyon - one of the world's largest green canyons - to the towering peaks of the Drakensberg and the vast wilderness of the magnificent Kruger National Park.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore this wonderful country.

Local is Lekker... Love South Africa...
