Cape Town

Cape Town is southern Africa's most beautiful, most romantic and most-visited city. Few urban centers anywhere can match its setting along the Cape Peninsula spine, which slides like the mighty tail of the continent into the Atlantic Ocean. By far the most striking - and famous - of its sights is Table Mountain, frequently mantled by clouds, and rearing up from the middle of the city to provide a constantly changing vista to the suburbs below. Table Mountain is the city's solid core which divides the city into distinct zones with public gardens, wilderness, forests, hiking routes, vineyards and desirable residential areas trailing down it's lower slopes.

Johannesburg

Johannesburg's contrasts are some of the most extreme in the world; poverty-stricken and overcrowded Alexandra is surrounded by some of the richest suburbs in South Africa, and downtown hundreds of homeless struggle to survive around the Stock Exchange. The contrast between suburb and township is mirrored nationwide, but is more extreme here because of the intense wealth of many of the suburbs, and the sheer size of the townships and their satellite squatter camps. Yet the city as a whole continues to suck in people and skills from all over the country, making it the financial, commercial and cultural powerhouse of South Africa.

Okavango Delta

The Okavango delta is one of the world’s largest inland water systems. It's headwaters start in Angola’s western highlands, with numerous tributaries joining to form the Cubango river, which then flows through Namibia (called the Kavango) and finally enters Botswana, where it is then called the Okavango. It is a unique ecosystem with large populations of African mammals, birds, and other animals and is one of the last totally unspoiled areas in Africa. This destination is perfect for camping, picture taking, walking safaris, and mokoro (canoe) excursions.

Moremi Game Reserve

Moremi, hunted by the

Bushman as

long as 10,000 years ago, was initiated by the Batawana tribe and

covers some 4,871 km², as the eastern section of the

Okavango Delta. Moremi is mostly described as one of the most beautiful

wildlife reserves in Africa. It combines mopane woodland and acacia forests, floodplains and lagoons. It

is the great diversity of plant and animal life that makes Moremi

so well known.

The idea to create a

game reserve first originated in 1961 and was approved by the Batawana

at a kgotla in 1963.

The area was then officially designated as a game reserve in April

1965 and was initially run by the Fauna Conservation Society of

Ngamiland. Moremi was then extended to include Chiefs Island in

1976. In August 1979 the reserve was taken over by the Department

of Wildlife and National Parks. A further extension was added as

recently as 1992 and now the reserve contains within its boundaries

approximately twenty percent of the Okavango Delta.
