Southern Africa: Exploring South Africa and Namibia

A hidden treasure along the North Atlantic coast on one of the region's largest sand dune fields, an offroad paradise. With accredited instructors the luxurious adventurer will be allowed to pilot a state-of-the-art Land Rover Discovery across the amazing white sands.  Stocked with sand-boards try your hand sand-boarding, after a few basic instructions you will be blasting down a sand dune.

Off the main tourist routes, the Nambiti Private Game Reserve is at the heart of Zulu country. The richness of its landscapes allows you to explore the savannah, bush, plains and mountainous foothills in just one day. All the fauna of South Africa, the giraffes and elephants, lions and leopards, black rhinoceros, seem to have agreed to meet at the site of the famous battle of Elandslaagte.

History is never trivial. The site that has housed the South African Constitutional Court since 2004 was once one of the country’s most feared prisons. Nelson and Winnie Mandela, as well as Gandhi, were incarcerated within these walls. Throughout the year, special exhibitions are held in various symbolic areas of the Old Fort–including the women’s prison and the notorious ‘Number Four’ detention block–offering insight into the country’s turbulent past and its arduous journey toward democracy. Today, the court acts as a guardian for the rights of all South African citizens.
