Equally renowned for its wealth of wildlife, South Africa also offers the visitor the Big 6 - rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and whales, which can be seen along the 3000km long coastline. The sheer diversity of its bird- and plant life is astounding.

The charms of South Africa are varied: from the diverse metropolis’ of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to the animal and nature paradise of Kruger National Park, from the lush wetlands of the KwaZulu-Natal to the arid Karoo of the Eastern Cape there is plenty to see and be enchanted by.
