South Africa © Lonely Planet Publications 399 SOUTH AFRICA S o u t h A f r i c a It’s no wonder that South Africa draws more visitors than anywhere else in sub-Saharan Africa. World-class wildlife watching, cosmopolitan cities, stunning natural panoramas and vibrant cultures make the country appealing to almost every taste and budget. Within the space of a day, you can journey from vineyard-clad hillsides in the Western Cape to the vast open spaces of the Kalahari, from Cape Town’s waterfront chic to isolated Zulu villages, from elephant spotting in Kruger National Park to the pounding surf and sublime seascapes of the coast. And, unlike many other areas of the continent, it’s possible to do all this while still enjoying Western amenities and, for the most part, getting by in English. Yet, while it’s easy to travel around South Africa focusing on the glitz and first-world infrastructure, you’ll only get below the surface by seeking out the country’s other face – most visible in the sprawling townships where far too many people live stalked by the shadows of hunger, poverty and one of the highest HIV/AIDS infection rates in the world. Behind its incredible natural beauty, South Africa is the stage for the daily drama of one of the world’s greatest experiments in racial harmony. The intensity of this drama surrounds you wherever you go, and will likely be one of the most fascinating and challenging aspects of your travels. And, there’s never been a better time to experience this than now, as the colours of the ‘rainbow nation’ finally begin to fuse.
