South Africa



Because South Africa has natural beauty, wild life, and sunshine it is a place that would truly be a wonderful destination of vacation.




Southern Africa is a place with an immensely varied terrain supporting a rich diversity of fauna and flora offering a correspondingly diverse range of experiences. Every new year, brightly dressed troupes of “colorured” (mixed-race) men and children dance through the streets of Cape Town, singing to the quick-paced strum of banjos and thump of drums. American minstrels who came to the Cape in the late 1800's inspired this tradition, but the celebration actually dates back to 1834 when slavestook to the streets to celebrate their liberation.




Other moments that make the thought of a visit to South Africa appealing are walking through carpets of flowers (Africa boast more than 2,600 species of flowers), seeing animals that are living in their own exciting habitats (staring down a roaring lion in Mpumalanga, stalking a rhino on foot in Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Reserve, or swimming with the penguins on Boulders Beach in Cape Town), and relaxing in beautiful camp sites such as Morukura (no schedules, no rules, and absolutely no pressure on guests to do anything other than “Be Yourself.”)




Numerous activities are offered due to Africa’s beautiful landscaping. Kayaking to cape point, mountain biking through the Knysna Forests, bungee jumping off Bloukrans River Bridge, surfing the Mighty Zambezi River, or game-viewing in theMoremi Game reserve all sound thrilling and memorable.




Due to the beautiful surroundings, exciting array of activities, and uniqueculture South Africa is definitely a place I would love to visit.
