This is a memorable tour of Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which is situated on the southwestern tip of Africa and includes historic buildings of the Old Cape Dutch and English architecture. Here we explore its most important attractions. The most famous landmark is Table Mountain, which is part of a nature reserve that includes wooden walkways and paths to view unique plant life of South Africa. Green Market Square, originally a commercial trading area, is a vibrant melting pot of cultural diversity bustling with shoppers. The history of Malay Quarters, also called 'Bo-Kaap,' dates back to 1652 when settlers were employees of the Dutch East India Company. And the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is a shopper/entertainment complex that has been developed around older wharves of the scenic Cape Town Harbor. Lastly, we learn that world famous wines have been produced in South Africa since the 17th century and today include vineyards such as Oude Nektar and KWV Vineyard.

Many people may find it hard to believe that Johannesburg is not only the largest city in South Africa, but also one of the 40 largest metropolitan areas in the world. In fact, Johannesburg and Pretoria today act as a single functional entity, forming a Mega-city of nearly 10 million people. Not surprisingly, Johannesburg is the economic and financial hub of South Africa, while Pretoria is one of the country's three capital cities, serving as the executive/administrative capital. Johannesburg is the source of a large-scale gold and diamond trade and the area's incredible growth is due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand range of hills. Touring this incredible city includes a stop at Gold Reef City, which takes us back to the area's pioneering days in the early 1900s, when the lure of discovering gold brought people here from around the world; then we take a hot air balloon ride over Pretoria, home of the South African Parliament. Next we travel to Durban, the country's third most populous city, which is famous as the busiest port in Africa; here we get a glimpse of its spectacular Victorian and Indian architecture. Lastly, we travel to Shakaland, the oldest 'Zulu Cultural Village' in Zululand. Originally built for the movie Shaka Zulu, the village is a popular destination, where people gain an insight into the Zulus' former traditional way of life; we too learn of Shaka, the king and builder of the Zulu Nation.

South Africa's wine making legacy dates back over 300 years and today Cape Winelands is the largest wine producing region in the Western Cape of the country. Our tour of this spectacular area begins at the historic Grande Roche Hotel, which was founded in 1717, and after fastidious restoration in 1993 was declared a national monument. We visit one of the largest wine makers in the world, KWV, an acronym for a name in Dutch, which means 'Co-operative Winemakers' Society of South Africa Ltd.' Then we meet winemakers at the Kanonkop Wine Estate, located on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. Next we meet a former rugby star, Jannie Engelbrecht, who acquired the Rust en Vrede Wine Estate, which became the first private winery in the country to specialize in the exclusive production of red wines. At the Van Loveren Estate, which has been in the Retief family since 1937, matriarch Oma Retief guides us through her beautiful garden; also we visit De Wetshof Estate, one of South Africa's premier chardonnay houses, tour the KWV Cathedral Cellar, and end our visit in the Paarl region at the Backsberg Estate.

The Bushmen of South Africa, also called the San, received worldwide attention with the success of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. This recognition did not insure these indigenous people a secure homeland or way of life; however, efforts are being made today between the Government and the National Parks Board to help the Bushmen/San resist extinction. In this engaging program we travel just three hours from Cape Town to Kagga Kamma, which is located in an untouched wilderness area south of the Cederberg Mountains and discover the Bushmen/San continue to survive in this land of majestic sandstone formations with a knowledge of their environment that dates back to Stone Age times, taking from nature only what the community needs; rock paintings that reflect their rich cultural heritage, which date back 6,000 years, can be found here; also we get the rare opportunity to meet several Bushmen/San families first hand and learn how they co-exist with their ancient ways during modern times.

Kruger Game Park is one of the most renowned wildlife reserves in the world, and the oldest in Africa. It was named after the President of the former South African Republic, Paul Kruger, who in 1898 established a protected area for the wildlife in the Lowveld region. Londolozi, which in Zulu means "protector of living things" is another excellent safari destination, and has grown to become one of Africa's finest game reserves. From the real jungle we travel next to a fantasy world of Africa's jungles, visiting the incomparable "Palace of the Lost City." Legend tells the palace was built as the royal residence of an ancient civilization and was destroyed by an earthquake; now it has been restored as one of world's most extraordinary hotels in remote Sun City. Entering the palace we see a life-sized model of South Africa's most famous elephant, Shawu.
