SOUTH AFRICA
Diamonds: purified carbon bubbles enclosed in solidified and transformed lava, slowly morphing into eight-sided, cold light-reflecting transparent crystals. For many a century, diamonds have been the main reason why thousands of Europeans have embarked long and perilous journeys to reach the coasts of South Africa.
Over time, visitors have come to notice that this marvellous country can offer many beauties, embracing today a value that is perhaps much greater than that of diamonds.
Red earth and previously unidentified species which still retain today nuances of exoticism, fascinating the human eye. Arid deserts transforming into flowering valleys at the break of September for miles and miles. Forests and grassy plains, rocky coasts and white, uncontaminated seashores, modern and welcoming metropoles still surrounded by an uncontainable and rip-roaring wilderness.
Stylish restaurants overlooking springbok herds crossing barren plains. Lush vines, the ocean with its grandiose tubular waves, heaven for surf lovers, and forests within which lions, leopards, nyala antelopes and rhinoceros live undisturbed. The Veld plain, characterized by its deep-seated Kopje boulders, its daytime heat and the surprisingly clear coolness of its nights. Arid waterbeds covered with cratego, their branches hosting hundreds of weaver birds nests. Penguins in Boulders, adjacent to Antarctica (the end of the world) and the Mpumalanga (Kruger National Park) where the majestic Big 5 live: elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceros and buffaloes.
Outside of the main cities a different clock ticks time, a time way closer to the endless patience of wild animals than to the excruciating madness of our lives. There, a re-appropriation of nature (and of its natural time) happens within ourselves. A place where, in spite of it all, nature still wins over mankind. Where thunderstorms hit you with their majesty and where the sky is so full of stars, it will take your breath away.
Zones marked by infinite spaces and temperatures never before experienced by the majority of Westerners. A charm lies within the roars of the lion and of the ocean. Panoramas that will leave even the most experienced travellers with their jaw hanging. This, and much more, awaits you at your arrival in South Africa, the Rainbow Nation. A unique experience, a true encounter with the nature and the peoples of a profoundly ancestral yet extraordinarily modern country.
