South
Africa is the southern-most
country on the African continent. Truly a world in one country…the
southernmost country on the African continent has a coastline
that stretches for 3000km from the border of Moçambique
in the east, to Namibia in the south west. South
Africa has a superb system of National Parks, Game Reserves and
Nature Reserves. Protection of the numerous species of wildlife
is excellent, and one may see lion, elephant, white and black
rhino, giraffe, many species of antelopes, and smaller predators
in easily accessible reserves throughout the country.

OTHER
PLACES OF INTEREST:
Golden
Gate: This unique national park was created in
1963 to conserve 11 500ha of golden sandstone cliffs and highlands
along the Lesotho border with Natal and the Free State provinces.
Great caverns and rock shelters are home to various raptors, including
the bearded vulture, the black eagle, the blue crane and the jackal
buzzard. Animals to be found on the lower grassland slopes include
black wildebeest, eland, red hartebeest and oribi.
Aliwal
North Springs: The town was originally important
during the Cape frontier days as a transport depot, and crossing
point of the Orange River. Two thermal springs found on the farm
Buffelsvlei (buffalo watering hole) led to its popularity as a health
resort. The springs are highly mineralised at temperatures of 31°C.
Graaff
Reinet: An historic Karoo (Khoi-Khoi word meaning
"land of thirst") frontier town that was established in 1786 to
govern an area too remote from the Cape at the time. The desolate
plains of the Great Karoo are nearby and good examples of Cape Dutch
architecture are found here. The "drosty" (residency) was constructed
to house the governor, his family and officials, and their slaves.
Today these restored buildings are part of the Drosty Hotel.
Mountain
Zebra National Park: Situated in the Bankberg Mountains,
on the edge of the Great Karoo, this park is a sanctuary for the
very rare Cape mountain zebra, (Equus zebra zebra) , which
stands only 1.2m high. Vegetation is typical Karoo with fine acacia,
wild olive and succulents like aloes. After good rains in April,
the landscape is covered with flowers. Bushman rock paintings can
also be viewed.
