Journey through South Africa

South Africa is a country facing great challenges, and opinions as to its course into the future are widely divergent and often the source of heated debate at home and abroad. It is a land of people of many different cultures and diverse, often conflicting, values - a mix which is at once the root of its great dilemma and the bud of its great potential. The traveler is faced with an almost unlimited choice of what to see and do: mountains of breathtaking grandeur, some snow-capped in winter; deserts of sand and scrub and heat hazed horizons; the great treeless plains of the interior; above all, a wildlife and floral abundance that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
