South Africa Safari
Collection
South Africa, described as
"a world within one country", heads into the new century with a new and buoyant
spirit. Dressing itself as the world's premier eco tourism destination, this
beautiful country provides the traveler with a large variety of national parks and private
wildlife conservancies.
For wildlife enthusiasts the
Kruger National Park provides first rate wildlife with first world infrastructure.
Fleeting images of true Africa are tempered with paved roads and multitudes of tourists.
Private lodges adjoining the park provide a more exclusive and remote atmosphere.
The country's private wildlife
conservancies (large tracts of private land which have been restocked with indigenous
game) are among Africa's finest, boasting numerous species of rare antelope and Africa's
largest populations of both black and white rhino.
Other South African activities
include scuba diving (Rocktail Bay is considered one of the world's top 10 dive
locations), viewing rare leatherback & loggerhead turtles, whale watching (the world's
leading land based viewing of southern right whales), viewing Jackass penguins, Great
White Shark cage dives, touring the Cape Peninsula, the Cape winelands, and Table Mountain
in cosmopolitan Cape Town, a visit to Nelson Mandela's boyhood home and to Robben Island
where he was imprisoned for 27 years. You can tour Soweto and meet local people at New
Rest. You may enjoy a Blue Train (the world's most luxurious train) or Rovos Rail journey
or simply relax along the Garden Route. South Africa has been home to the world's
#1 hotel 2 years running (the Cape Grace in 2000 & Singita in 2001). Getting to South
Africa from the USA is easy - travelers can fly non-stop aboard South African Airways
747-400's from Atlanta & New York to Cape Town & Johannesburg.
