This vast country is undoubtedly one of the most culturally and  geographically diverse places on earth. Fondly known by locals as the  'Rainbow Nation', South Africa has 11 official languages and its  multicultural inhabitants are influenced by a fascinating mix of  cultures. Discover the gourmet restaurants, impressive art scene,  vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches of Cape Town. Enjoy a local  braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township, browse the bustling Indian  markets in Durban, or sample some of the world’s finest wines at the  myriad wine estates dotting the Cape Winelands. Some historical  attractions to explore include the Zululand battlefields of  KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and Robben Island,  just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, its remarkably untamed  wilderness with its astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely across  massive unfenced game reserves such as the world-famous Kruger National  Park. With all of this variety on offer, it is little wonder that South  Africa has fast become Africa’s most popular tourist destination.
