The main tourist destinations include Cape Town, Kruger National Park, and the Garden Route. South Africa also has a thriving art culture. Local artists continue to flourish in the cities and in smaller communities. South Africa is not without its problems - unemployment and the resulting poverty which results in some crime, so watch your belongings in the same way that you need to in most major cities. __________ This description has been edited by 5 people.

This is Tuesday afternoon. I am currently lounging on the outdoor terrace of my hotel—the Holiday Inn Maputo. It is one of the few better hotels that sit right on the beach. Writing this journal is difficult, because I am constantly being distracted by the beautiful beach sprawled out before me. Maputo is a very poor city, though you would never know it from this viewpoint.
This morning we had more orientation meetings, but the rest of the day is now free time. I will be traveling to ...

May 30th The feelings I experienced while stepping off the plane for the first time in Africa were quite overwhelming.

The city was made up of a province called KwaZulu-Natal, which w...

There were nine of us on the bus, and nobody moved - we felt sea sick just looking at the swell today. Next stop was a penguin colony, and thankfully on land. Several thousa...

I almost didn't go up it... if i knew what iwas going to miss out on i would have been so upset! Table mountain is absolutely spectacular, its a national park and has all sorts of interesting plants and lizards and things. at one point, when i was the only person on the footpath for ages, i actually got stopped by a lizard who was crossing the path to grab a fly. it was really funny, then it just sort of scuttled off. And the view is phenomenal. When i was up there it was partly clear and par...
