South Africa

iStock International
South Africa — Wild and tamed. Affluent and impoverished. Ancient and avant-garde. Often referred to as “a world in one country,” South Africa is a land of beguiling contrasts and endless possibilities. Where else can you straddle two mighty oceans (Indian and Atlantic), view the first traces of humanity, tour one of the largest wine-producing regions in the world, and luxuriate in a boutique game lodge after scoring snapshots of the “Big Five” (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalo)?

Why Go

For the amazing scenery, safari adventures, exciting cosmopolitan cities, great beaches, and mighty surf.
