When you go on holiday you like to really delve into your destination's history, culture and landscape. You like to know a bit about the country before you arrive and once you're there you like to dig deep so that when you leave, you'll feel fulfilled by an authentic learning experience. Do you want to know the names of the birds you're seeing and will take pride in being able to spot the difference between a black and white rhino at 100 paces? If the answer is yes, you're a discoverer, and if your curiosity and thirst for mental adventure is in need of a fresh injection, then make your way to the Southern tip of Africa…a discoverer's dream!
South Africa is truly a discoverer's dream destination! If your fascination lies with history, architecture, cultural formations, geography and topography, the evolution of mankind, fauna and flora or indigenous cultures, South Africa has enough attractions to keep you occupied for a lifetime. A very tiny taste of what might fill your itinerary include a tour of the Battlefields in KwaZulu-Natal, where you will relive the epic battles between the Boers and the British imperial forces. You could spend days exploring the Namaqualand viewing the magnificent array of flowers that burst into colorful display every spring, wonder at the rock art of South Africa's earliest inhabitants, or visit the palaeontological sites at Cradle of Humankind, believed to be home to the world's earliest inhabitants.
Nature's bounty is truly abundant in South Africa, and you might wish to view whales, dolphins and birds or track a whole range of game in one of many magnificent National parks or private reserves. Once you've had your dose of the wilds you can touch the heart of the country in a number of cultural villages, or taste South Africa’s history on a tour to Soweto, Robben Island and other heritage sites. The discoverers will find plenty to engage themselves 'down South.' So pick up your reference books and get packing!
