South Africa
The vast and geographically diverse country of South Africa has much to offer, with its temperate climates, abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes. Home to the world famous Kruger National Park, where you could be lucky enough to see the ‘Big Five’, and the Garden Route, an area of spectacular natural beauty along the Western Cape coastline, South Africa has become a popular place to visit. There’s also Cape Town, with its abundance of nearby attractions such as Table Mountain, Cape Point and the Cape Winelands. As tourism in South Africa revolves around nature, eco-tourism is essential here to prevent the destruction of the environment.
