South Africa, a land that many have called the most beautiful place on earth, is a place where one can feel the rhythmic pulse of Africa intertwined with the western influences of the past, a place where the soul of a country comes from the hearts and minds of its people, where hope and joy has been spawned by the pursuit of freedom and equality, where the rolling hills, towering mountains and fertile valleys give way to vibrant and dynamic cities, and where the wildest of experiences can be enjoyed by the most sophisticated of palates. Yes indeed, South Africa truly is a multi-faceted and deeply interesting place to visit.
