What then is being said of this country? These vast unspoilt spaces and unbridled wildernesses. This wild place where
civilised nature and unique culture of its people are measured by kind-hearted attitude experienced so frequently by many travellers.
What is simple reason so many of our visitors from Northern Hemisphere return here again and again? It can only be found in actual experience of South Africa's culture and friendship of its people.
The many answers to this question can be shown over and over in friendly smiles you receive walking through a township market; in respect and tolerance shown, visiting sacred sites and cultural icons of people; and in greetings and genuine concern felt while within 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 roamed dusty streets of local areas and that to go hiking alone in 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 to African game farms existing in remote areas throughout continent. The pristine hills stretch from one end of Cape Peninsula to other, like a giant smile peering down over valleys below, but wild beasts have long since been tamed and hills are safely open to all who would venture into them.
If you are looking for archetypal African adventure, laden with richly diverse wildernesses and infinite possibilities, come and experience warmth and hospitality characteristic of this country. Trust South Africa to set stage and cast to be our culture.
