What isrepparttar 133920 simple reason so many of our visitors fromrepparttar 133921 Northern Hemisphere return here again and again? It can only be found inrepparttar 133922 actual experience of South Africa's culture andrepparttar 133923 friendship of its people.

The many answers to this question can be shown over and over inrepparttar 133924 friendly smiles you receive walking through a township market; inrepparttar 133925 respect and tolerance shown, visitingrepparttar 133926 sacred sites and cultural icons ofrepparttar 133927 people; and inrepparttar 133928 greetings and genuine concern felt while withinrepparttar 133929 hospitable arms of local establishments.

Perceptions about “Africa” have been changing slowly, but they are nonetheless changing. Foreign visitors used to believe that herds of elephants roamedrepparttar 133930 dusty streets of local areas and that to go hiking alone inrepparttar 133931 pristine African hills meant meeting lions, giant spiders and possibly being attacked by masked warriors with six foot spears.

The herds of elephants do exist, relegated torepparttar 133932 African game farms existing in remote areas throughoutrepparttar 133933 continent. The pristine hills stretch from one end ofrepparttar 133934 Cape Peninsula torepparttar 133935 other, like a giant smile peering down overrepparttar 133936 valleys below, butrepparttar 133937 wild beasts have long since been tamed andrepparttar 133938 hills are safely open to all who would venture into them.

If you are looking forrepparttar 133939 archetypal African adventure, laden with richly diverse wildernesses and infinite possibilities, come and experiencerepparttar 133940 warmth and hospitality characteristic of this country. Trust South Africa to setrepparttar 133941 stage andrepparttar 133942 cast to be our culture.
