Nelson Mandela |
|
Wild Coast |
|
|
|
Nelson
Mandela was born into the royal family of the Tembu at Qunu,
near Umtata in the Eastern Cape, on 18 July 1918. A struggle for
freedom brought him to one of South Africa's most feared prisons,
but he achieved his goals and became the president of South Africa. |
|
The
Wild
Coast is a beautiful and extensive tract of undulating pastoral
country studded with whitewashed, thatched rondavel huts. The lack
of coastal development and the sheer rugged beauty of this 300-mile
stretch of the Africa north of East London, earned its name. |

Shamwari Game Reserve

reserve in which a multitude of plant, animal and birdlife unfold
the very soul of an untamed continent, along with the most luxurious
means of experiencing your safari holiday. |

Graaff Reinet
Graaff Reinet, set in the middle of
the Karoo Nature Reserve, boasts over 300 national monuments and

Highest Bungi Jump
Throw yourself off the world's biggest
bungi jump located at Bloukrans Bridge on Storms River. A 180m
freefall that takes seven seconds traveling at 190kmph - even the
rebound is higher than the Victoria Falls. |
