Northern Cape

From.... the sun-seared twisted faults of the ancient lava mountains; from the magnificent sands of the sunset-red Kalahari; from the turbulent splender of the mighty Orange River plunging into the gaping granite chasm of Augrabies; from the blinding expanses of the shimmering saltpans; from the starstruck nights under the galactic skies from the timeless beauty of silent kokerboom forests; from the lives of the ancients painted onto ochre walls; Ounique plant species; mute stone forts, red-raged sunsets exploding across the skies - setting the fabric of heaven aflame; the arterial tide of the life-giving Orange River; mountain hikes and mountain bikes and from the crack of the shot that breaks the Springbok's leaping arc... you will learn to seperate "pretty stones" from a gem of lasting value! Diamonds!

North-West Province

The North West province, sprawling plateaus of bushveld, irregularly undulating area of hot weather, semi-arid scrub, deep fertile soil and flat open plains interrupted by oddly-shaped rock formations. The province is considered by most, to be South Africa's premier gaming centre and is also an ideal destination for the holiday maker seeking a relaxing break in the untouched splendour of nature. Horizons here seem endless.

Zululand – KwaZulu-Natal

While the province of KwaZulu Natal may be internationally renowned as the Kingdon of the Zulu, it is really one of the only provinces in the country that can boast a true diversity of people and culture all honed together in its very own rainbow spirit. Visitors to the province have a chance to see and experience true Zulu culture and their proud history, interact with Indian people whose forefathers came to the province as labourers in 1860 and get a taste of traditional English culture still practiced by residents whose decendants came to the territory in the nineteenth century. The mix of races and cultures gives KwaZulu Natal a completely different feel to any other province in South Africa making it equally attractive to both domestic and international visitors.
