South Africa

The southernmost country in Africa and "Cradle of Civilization", South Africa is one of the planet's most remarkable tapestries of nature, wildlife, history and culture. It is the site of some of the oldest civilizations in the world, as well as unmatched modern multiculturism. South Africa's constitution recognizes 11 official languages - more than any other country! It is a place where exotic wildlife awaits; the famed 'Big Five' as well as cheetahs, hippos, giraffes,, penguins, whales, sharks, crocodiles, leatherback sea turtles and a jaw-dropping number of bird species, and where rugged sea coasts lead to mountains, forests, deserts, farmland and colourful cities.
