One of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth, South Africa, fondly known by locals as the 'Rainbow Nation', boasts 11 official languages, and its inhabitants are influenced by a fascinating mix of cultures. Discover the gourmet restaurants, impressive art scene, vibrant nightlife, and beautiful beaches of Cape Town. Enjoy a local braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township, browse the bustling Indian markets in Durban, or sample some of the world's finest wines at the myriad wine estates dotting the Cape Winelands. Some historical attractions to explore include the Zululand battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, and Robben Island, just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, its untamed wilderness is astonishing: wildlife roams freely across massive unfenced game reserves such as the world-famous Kruger National Park.
Sibuya Game Reserve is a unique, awe-inspiring destination located in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province, encompassing lush valleys, vast grasslands, picturesque coastal forests, and breathtaking beaches. The park is home to a huge diversity of wildlife, including the famous ‘Big Five’, as well as numerous others and several rare species such as Oribi. Along the river, look out for otters, crocodiles, Kingfishers, and fish eagles (around 400 bird species live in the reserve); along the coast, walk the soft sands of gorgeous beaches lapped by the warm Indian Ocean. Travellers can look forward to river cruises, canoeing, swimming in the sea, horse riding, and excellent game drives. The variety of landscapes, along with the animals, make for wonderful photographic opportunities.
