Travel Guide for your South Africa holiday
The election of Nelson Mandela as president in 1994 ended South Africa's apartheid isolation and set off a tourist boom that has seen visitor numbers soar - and rightfully so. Apart from offering affordable luxury for all budgets, South Africa is a vast country with landscapes that vary from the steep cliffs of the Drakensberg Mountains to the sandy beaches of the Indian Ocean, with the added bonus of some of the best wildlife viewing on the planet.
