What are the main things to do and see in South Africa?

It is not only cultural diversity that makes South Africa magical. The country has a wealth of animal and plant life scattered across its varied climactic zones from desert to snow-covered mountains, forests to grasslands and mangrove swamps. Historically, too, there is plenty to discover, from the fossils of ancient hominids, to the pioneering spirit of the Dutch 'voortrekkers' and the settlement of the Eastern Cape frontier by the British colonialists.

While the nation's cities offer a great insight into South African culture, it would be a tragedy not to explore the country's national parks courtesy of a wildlife safari. The Kruger National Park is located in the northeast and gives lucky travellers the opportunity of spotting the big five - lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros and buffalos. Other national parks worthy of attention include the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the Addo Elephant National Park.

Northwest of Johannesburg is a destination that offers an incredible glimpse into man's evolutionary process. Dubbed, the Cradle of Humankind, the site consists of over 200 caves where hominids and advanced ape fossils were discovered.
