This, together with an interesting and diverse cultural mix and a delightful climate makes South Africa a consistently popular choice with travellers. Whatever type of holiday you are looking for you'll find it here. South Africa is a `world in one country', from cosmopolitan urban destinations such as Cape Town and Johannesburg, to the crashing surf of the Atlantic or the magic of the African bush, the sheer variety on offer is quite astounding. This is a nation reborn which is reconciling itself with a troubled past and looking to the future with a bright optimism.
