South Africa is said to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Its ever-changing and breathtaking scenery takes you from the awe inspiring
Drakensberg Mountains to the grasslands of
Kruger National Park and of course the fantastic beaches. The dark cloud of apartheid held back tourism for understandable reason, but since its breakdown in 1994, travelers have returned to experience the magic of this remarkable land.
Travellers
Sami Sabiti and
Justine Shapiro return to South Africa to see how much the rainbow nation has changed in the decade since apartheid. Starting in the beautiful
Cape Town they then travel to
Robben Island to see where
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. After a stop in
