South Africa: A Journey to the Heart of the Wild
Welcome to the land of contrasts and diversity, a reflection of the "rainbow" nation symbol that Nelson Mandela wanted to make a social reality. There are many facets to South Africa. There's the one of national parks and private reserves for a photo safari and encounters with the "big five" animals (lion, black rhinoceros, buffalo, leopard, and elephant). There's the one of the coasts and the two oceans, Atlantic and Pacific, bordering it on either side of the Cape of Good Hope for canoeing with sharks, diving among whales, seals, and sea lions, or surfing with dolphins. There's the one of the hinterland for a trip on the wine route with its vineyards and great vintages. There's the one of the big cities with Johannesburg, complex; Soweto, musical; Durban, a mix of Indian and African; or Cape Town, festive. So, don't hesitate any longer, let yourself be guided by a local expert for your next tailor-made trip to South Africa.
