Set off on a trip to South Africa, a rainbow of cultures and natural beauty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the southernmost tip of Africa<\/strong> lies a country<\/strong> that has made multiplicity<\/strong> its defining trait, and for this reason is often called the Rainbow Nation. A trip to South Africa<\/strong> is an experience that condenses everything Africa has to offer<\/strong> for those willing to look at it with open eyes and an open mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, South Africa is one of the most developed nations<\/strong> on the Continent, with a thriving economy and a Constitution that includes one of the most advanced Bills of Rights in the world. Yet social inequalities<\/strong> remain. Colonialism<\/strong> and racial segregation<\/strong> are recent history, and although the country has turned a page, contradictions<\/strong> are still part of the ongoing transformation process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South African population is a true mosaic of cultures<\/strong>, which began to take shape in the 17th century. The area of present-day South Africa was originally inhabited by San, Khoikhoi, <\/strong>and Bantu groups<\/strong>. In the 1600s, the Dutch<\/strong> East India Company arrived, and with them began the slave<\/strong> trade from Indonesia, Madagascar<\/strong>, India, and Malaysia. Meanwhile, the country\u2019s mineral wealth attracted the British<\/strong>, who extended their rule over the territory. In short, centuries of cultural blending have led to the composition you see today. South Africa now has 11 <\/strong>officially recognized languages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same richness <\/strong>is found in nature<\/strong>. The land offers a variety of ecosystems<\/strong> to suit every taste. South African landscapes range from deserts<\/strong> to green hills<\/strong>, from white beaches<\/strong> to savannahs<\/strong>, all the way to subtropical forests.  All this biodiversity is protected by 18 national parks and 282 game<\/strong> and forest reserves, covering about 8% of the national territory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our tours<\/strong> include a stop in Cape Town<\/strong>, the country\u2019s oldest urban center and now a modern metropolis, with the option to travel the Garden Route and admire spectacular views along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africa Wild Truck tours also include a visit to Kruger National Park<\/strong>. The wildlife in this reserve is one of the main attractions: the park is home to the Big Five<\/strong>, and in total hosts over 750 animal<\/strong> species<\/strong>, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. A true paradise for anyone wanting to experience the thrill of a safari in South Africa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
