Destinations

South Africa

South Africa is emerging as a rainbow nation from it's apartheid past. The country boasts some of the world's most exciting attractions ranging from natural scenery, beaches and wildlife to bustling cities rich in cultural diversity.

South Africa is a parliamentary democracy and is in many respects a developed country, although much of its population lives in poverty. All major urban areas have modern, world-class hotels and tourist facilities. Game parks and areas most often visited by tourists have a wide range of facilities. Food and water are generally safe, and a wide variety of consumer goods and pharmaceuticals are readily available. The capital is Pretoria, while the seat of parliament is located in Cape Town. Johannesburg is the financial capital and largest city in South Africa. Durban is home to Africa’s busiest port and is the number one tourist destination for South Africans.
