South Africa is a country known perhaps especially for its history of
apartheid laws, like the segregation of blacks in America there are nearly
a century. The only difference is that the South African government
actually applied the race segregationist policies as law. This involved a
race hierarchy, with whites on top, the Indians (& # 8221 Asian;) secondly,
& # 8221 Coloreds; Third and black at the bottom, which is still visible in
most parts of the country where one can view specific areas dominated by
one or two of the aforementioned rings.
South Africa and the United States share many similarities, as I reveal in
this article, but also many differences. Anyway, let me stop rambling and
get to the point of this article, which is why you should visit this
wonderful country.
1. A strong culture and male history
The settlers arrived at the Cape of Good Hope
Although hotly debated today, the fact remains that the first settlers from
Europe (mainly Dutch) have brought civilization in this country when they
arrived in Cape Town in 1652, and although they are not the first to
discover this land (the Khoikhoi and San inhabited the area), they finally
made what it is today (as with most colonies developed).

The war has almost defined the country. The first settlers had to fight
many wars with the natives, perhaps most notably in the "Battle of
Isandlwana" January 22, 1879, in which the outnumbered British suffered a
humiliating defeat ferocious Zulu warriors & # 8230 ;

But wars are not just limited those between natives and settlers. Fast
forward two hundred years and you got the Anglo-Boer war between Afrikaners
(Boers or & # 8221;) and the British, which lasted from 1899 to 1902.
Don forget the incredible South African war effort during the 1st world war
and 2, and their famous special forces team, commonly known as Recces
(Their logo is my profile picture)

2. Women
South Africa has produced countless s Miss World and Miss Universe, and
being a multicultural country, a man can find here, in order of the highest
population size: black women, women of color (white mixed and black), white
women and Indian women.
If you're into black girls, many of them still enjoy the traditional roles
so you're lucky there. They are found everywhere in the country.
women of color in the Cape are quite westernized but tend to promote
traditional gender roles, but your best bet for women of color would be in
the more conservative and rural towns in Western and Northern Cape. You're
also likely to find much of the Muslim Cape Malays & # 8221; which are also
classified as Color & # 8221; but from experience I have found that girls
tend to be prettier than their non-Muslim counterparts for some reason.

White women are divided into two camps. I think that's safe to say that the
majority of English-speaking white women are liberal and about as
westernized as in first world countries. However, women are mostly
conservative Afrikaner time and you'll find most of them in Gauteng,
Pretoria, and the provinces of Free State.

Finally if you're looking for Indian women, you can find most of them on
the east coast in KwaZulu-Natal province.
3. Kitchen
This is a & # 8221 braai, not a barbecue, bru
This is undoubtedly one of the aspects that I sorely missed on vacation in
Europe. The quality of food in general was worse than what I'm used to.
I may be biased because it's my home country, but South Africa has, no
doubt, some of the highest quality on the planet food. In Cape Town, you
have a Mediterranean climate, so as Snoek fish, hake and yellowtail are
common.
The wine industry is also the great Western Cape and produces some of the
best wines in the world. Many fruits and vegetables are grown in the
Western Cape because of the climate, so it is quite an interesting area to
stay in
The more you got inside most farms with sheep, cattle and poultry. Beef and
lamb are the main sources of meat in this country, no pork, as in most
European countries. While here, you can not leave without trying & # 8221
Potjiekos; (Stew cooked in a cast iron pot over a fire), Snoek (fish
species found in the Cape), and & # 8221 boerewors; (The best sausage you
will ever taste, guaranteed).
4. Landscape and fauna
Where else in the world can you get such a unique view?
In South Africa, you will find some of the best scenery in the world. From
Cape Town, where you & # 8220 got; Table Mountain (So named because of its
flat top like a table). Getting around is within the Karoo which is
semi-arid, and the interior is the eastern part of the country where you
can visit the Drakensberg Mountains, the Lesotho border.
Not to mention the wide variety of wildlife in this country has to offer,
including the "Big Five" would be the most famous (animals are presented on
our old bank notes!).
5. Beaches
Fish Hoek beach, voted N0. 1 by humans and the Great Whites
You will find some of the best beaches in the region around Cape Town.
These include Fish Hoek, Muizenberg, Clifton, Boulder's Beach, and
Blaauwbergstrand Langebaan Lagoon to name a few. There are also beaches in
Durban and along the south coast, but I can not really say a lot of people
I've ever been there.
6. Great weather
Climate zones SA
With a subtropical climate, South Africa has a fairly predictable climate
and gets sun for about 300 days a year. This is one of the things I missed
during my trip to Europe last year, and when I returned I was instantly
rejuvenated with sunlight (not really, it was winter when I came back, but
you know what i mean).
week Itinerary
Here is an example of places you can visit in a one-week trip.
Cape Town, Western Cape: Table Mountain; Fish Hoek Beach (located in False
Bay, the most shark-infested area of the world); wine tasting in
Constantia; Peak (great views) Chapman; Stellenbosch (university town - a
lot of white Afrikaner girls)
Limpopo, Mpumalanga Kruger National Park (one of the largest game reserves
in Africa)
Johannesburg, Gauteng: Cradle of Humankind
Lesotho Drakensberg Mountains (to the Lesotho border, and several South
African provinces)
Conclusion
So if you've never heard before, or if you have already considered a trip
to this country of Africa very late, I'm sure you will find much to love in
this country once you are right here. I am delighted to write more about my
country in future articles, I will talk about the good, the bad and the
ugly.
Anyway, I wish you all the best all here (I trust you booked your ticket
already?) And you at least survive in this (currently) seedy and corrupt &
# 8212; But as impressive and unique & # 8212; country I call home.
