Natural Attractions

You will struggle to count countries that are as well endowed with natural attractions as much as South Africa is. 

A complete desert turns into the richest natural floral city in the world almost overnight in Spring only, two oceans meet at the tip of a major city, a place had to be aptly named God’s Window because it is literally a window to one of the most breathtaking views you can ever imagine, awesome scenery is within an almost walking distance from any city, so many beaches some have yet to be explored and the big five roam in any national park that you can find across the country.

This is South Africa, the world’s beauty queen of natural attractions.

Limpopo’s Tree God
Half-tree, half-legend, the ‘upside down tree’ as the Baobab is affectionately called, is part medicine cabinet, part bushveld larder and in the case of the Sunland baobab, one of the most unusual watering-holes you’re ever likely to enter....
 
The Sacred Forest of the Rain Queen
The Modjadji Nature Reserve is home to the largest concentration of cycads in the world. It is also the realm of Modjadji, the mysterious Rain Queen of the BaLobedu tribe: the only people in Africa with a female line of succession....
 
Jewel of the Zulu Kingdom
Sub-tropical splendor, beautiful beaches, rich Zulu culture and endless sunshine is what sets apart the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal from other up-market beach hotspots in South Africa....
 
Charming Bird in a Uniform
African penguins, with their white chests and black bowtie markings, look like charming knee-high cartoon waiters waddling around Cape Town’s tourism beaches. Just don’t expect them to bring you the catch of the day without taking the first bite....
