South Africa \u2013 one\u00a0is the planet\u2019s most hauntingly beautiful countries \u2013 holds\u00a0a special place in my heart since I spent part of my studies here. The country is often referred to as the Rainbow Nation,\u00a0a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-apartheid South Africa and made famous by\u00a0President Nelson Mandela in his first month of office, when he proclaimed: \u201cEach of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld \u2013 a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world<\/em>\u201c. South Africa is a magnificent country with an incredible display of natural splendor, varying from the majestic coastal scenery around Cape Town in the south to one of Africa\u2019s most famous safari destinations, Kruger National Park, in the north, with the vast Karoo semi-desert across its heart. The nation also harbors one of Africa\u2019s most\u00a0diverse cultural melting pots, a phenomena obscured by decades of enforced racial segregation, but now\u00a0fully alive in the larger cities, creating a thrilling creative scene.<\/p>\n
