South Africa is known for its incredible wildlife, including the iconic Big 5 -- lion, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard and buffalo.

The most famous of these parks is Kruger National Park, located in northern South Africa. Here you can find an abundance of animals living freely within the park’s vast landscape.

What makes South Africa truly unique is its people - from the Zulu to the Xhosa, from the Bushman to the Boer – each group adds their own cultural tradition to the melting pot. Visitors can immerse themselves into these beautiful cultures by attending local events or festivals. They can also visit various historical sites that tell stories about South Africa’s rich past.

This spectacular cave system features extraordinary limestone formations created over millions of years and a network of passages filled with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Interesting fact: the longest stalactite found in the caves is nearly 11 meters long!
