The southernmost country of the African continent has been blessed with immense beauty and diversity. There is an eclectic mix of cultures that still today see this as the land of great hope. Its natural beauty astonishes travellers from all walks of life - from pristine white tropical beaches on the east coast to the harsh, untamed west coast; from the desolate, dry Karoo to rolling red sand dunes of the Kalahari and the verdant Lowveld following good summer rains. Tropical forests, snow-capped mountains in winter and the Fynbos of the Cape Winelands where you will find locally inspired cuisine with some of the finest dining anywhere.
