I've had some messages from members asking what my country is like... So if you ever thought of visiting South Africa here's some interesting facts and places you'd love to check out

South Africa has the oldest meteor scar in the world, just across the Vaal River near Parys, called the Vredefort Dome. The meteor plummeted to Earth nearly two billion years ago (Earth is said to be 4,5 billion years old), pre-dating the heady days of oxygen and multi-celled life. An outcropping of granite rock in Vredefort Dome:


The Tugela Falls is the second highest waterfall in the world, where the water tumbles down 850 metres.


South Africa has the longest wine route in the world --> the R62 wine route

Did you know that Walt Disney serves South African wine exclusively at its 73-acre Animal Kingdom Lodge in the United States??? Many wines are also described as having floral notes, but only 3.1% of the worlds wines come from South Africa - ranked number one in the world for its floral kingdom with more than 9600 plant species.



The Kimberley Mine Museum is situated next to the Big Hole and houses the first recorded diamond discovery

The worlds largest diamond was the Cullinan, found in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats uncut. It was cut into the Great Star of Africa, weighing 530.2 carats, the Lesser Star of Africa, which weighs 317.40 carats, and 104 other diamonds of nearly flawless colour and clarity. They now form part of the British crown jewels.



So whether you prefer deserts, mountains, escarpments, plateaus, grasslands, bush, wetlands or subtropical forests - South Africa's got it all Not to mention the people here are amazeballs!!
