Discover South Africa
What makes South Africa international travel special? No country has a more compelling combination of history, culture, and wildlife than South Africa. In Johannesburg, the painful years under apartheid are gone, but never forgotten. Game drives during a safari take you within shouting distance of elephants, lions, rhinos, and more. Cape Town is a favorite destination for many, thanks to its cosmopolitan atmosphere and stunning scenery. Think of all that girls will see and experience when they travel to South Africa.
