SOUTH AFRICA

Greetings from South Africa! Groete van Suid-Afrika!


The wonderful diversity of South Africa - from the magnificent wildlife and scenic splendour to the sophisticated metropolises:



The beach featured in the main picture is Bloubergstrand

  • Eastern Transvaal - The eastern Transvaal still has more than a hint if wildness in its glorious visual scope. Mountains, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, pockets of primal forest and a colourful profusion of flowers and birds decorate the countryside. The savannah lands of the lowveld teem with wildlife, including the 'Big Five': lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo, offering an unparalleled experience.
  • Garden Route - Between Mossel Bay and the Storms River, the Garden Route runs parallel to a coastline which features lakes, mountains, golden beaches, cliffs and dense indigenous forests. From sources high in the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains, ambercoloured rivers plunge into an ocean of mercurial moods. Surrounded by indigenous forests, the delightful town of George (principal town of the Garden Route) nestles on a coastal plateau at the foot of one of the highest peaks in the Outeniqua mountain range.

  3. Mam tylko jedną pocztówkę z RPA, a jedna niestety albo zaginęła po drodze, albo ktoś jej po prostu nie wysłał. Wszystkie te pojedyncze widoki są ładne, szczególnie wodospady wpadły mi w oko :)

    1. Slogan turystyczny RPA to "świat w jednym kraju".
