South africa - Travel Guide
Description
At the southernmost tip of the African continent, South Africa is one of the top safari and bird watching destinations in the entire world. It features a greater variety of flora and fauna than any other country and has some of the most beautiful, breathtaking landscape you will ever experience. For a heady mix of culture, tradition and beauty, a visit to Cape Town is an absolute must. One of South Africa's premiere tourist destinations, Table Mountain is part of a protected nature reserve to such an extent, that wooden walkways and designated paths allow visitors to wander, without damaging fragile plant life. The South African's have thought of everything. There is even a post box at the summit of Table Mountain for you to send your postcards!
The vast plateau in South Africa's interior is a perfect setting for wildlife-watching. Kruger Park offers a huge variety of wildlife and a number of private game reserves operating in the same area market the fact that there is no better location for photographing the big cats.
For a more sedentary tour, the Garden Route begins in Cape Town and is the second most popular tourist attraction. Freshwater lakes, forest, hidden coves and stunning beaches are also indigenous to South Africa and can all be explored among the beautiful natural scenery.
There are so many things to see and do here, that many tourists return to this fascinating country time and time again. It is one of the most thrilling and diversified countries in the world and, with its rich, cultural kaleidoscope it really is ‘a rainbow nation'.
