COVER PHOTOGRAPH BY ADIL JAINEDITOR’S NOTE
SOUTH AFRICA is home to some of the world’s oldest surviving ethnic groups, a
stellar wine region with exceptional dining; it’s where you can see stars the way
our ancestors did three million years ago, where you can swim among Africa’s only
native penguins, where you can not only dive with great white sharks but also see
them hunting for seals. Few other destinations are worthy of this many superlatives.
Amidst such high acclaim, however, you’ll discover a country in transition. Cities
are expanding and developing at a rapid pace, and political conditions and safety
of travellers is more stable than ever before, making it an ideal time to visit
the country. The buzzing cities, awe-inspiring wildlife corridors, and warm and
welcoming people will stay with you long after you’ve left South Africa.Ruchira Bose
