an intoxicating cultural cocktail for the traveller. With such astonishing diversity, you will be taken on a journey that will linger in your mind long after you’ve left her shores. <br /><div class="mpuWrapper " id="mpuInContent"><div class="mpuInner"><div class="adContainer" id="adContainer_mpuInContent"></div></div></div><b>Soul Stirring</b><br />Bamboozling. There’s simply no other word that captures the enigma that is India. With an ability to inspire, frustrate, thrill and confound all at once, India presents an extraordinary spectrum of encounters for the traveller. Some of these can be challenging, particularly for the first-time visitor: the poverty is confronting, Indian bureaucracy can be exasperating and the crush of humanity sometimes turns the simplest task into an energy-zapping battle. Even veteran travellers find their sanity frayed at some point, yet this is all part of the India experience. Love it or loathe it – and most visitors see-saw between the two – India will jostle your entire being.

For those seeking spiritual sustenance, India has oodles of sacrosanct sites and thought-provoking philosophies, while history buffs will stumble upon gems from the past almost everywhere – grand vestiges of former empires serenely peer over swarming streets and crumbling fortresses loom high above plunging ravines.

And then there are the festivals. With its vibrant mix of religious denominations, India is home to a formidable array of celebrations – from larger-than-life extravaganzas with caparisoned elephants and body-twisting acrobats to pint-sized harvest fairs paying homage to a locally worshipped deity.<br /><b>Too Delicious</b><br />Brace yourself – you’re about to jump on board one of the wildest culinary trips of your life! Frying, simmering, sizzling, kneading and flipping a deliciously diverse variety of regional dishes, feasting your way through the subcontinent is certainly one hell of a ride. The hungry traveller can look forward to a bountiful smorgasbord of tasty delights, ranging from the spicy goodness of masterfully marinated chicken drumsticks in North India to the simple splendour of squidgy rice dumplings in the steamy south.

It befits its position at the southern end of the world’s most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at. There’s the deserted Kalahari, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers, iconic <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355613">Table Mountain</a> and Cape Point, <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355623">Kruger National Park</a>’s wildlife-stalked savannah (scene of the famous lion-buffalo-crocodile battle watched more than 40 million times on YouTube) and, running through the east of the country and into <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355349">Lesotho</a>, the <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355624">Drakensberg</a>. <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355619">KwaZulu-Natal</a>’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins.<br /><div class="mpuWrapper " id="mpuInContent"><div class="mpuInner"><div class="adContainer" id="adContainer_mpuInContent"></div></div></div><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LXomzuM-syI/Tyk_8pYwDZI/AAAAAAAABiM/Zhg53AP7DyI/s1600/South+Africa+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LXomzuM-syI/Tyk_8pYwDZI/AAAAAAAABiM/Zhg53AP7DyI/s320/South+Africa+4.jpg" width="320" /></a>If you’re interested in another kind of wildlife, hit the nightclubs on <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355612">Cape Town</a>’s jumping Long St or sample African homebrew in a township shebeen (unlicensed bar). When it’s time to reflect on it all, do it over seafood on the Garden Route, curry in <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=355620">Durban</a>’s Indian Area, a sizzling Cape Malay dish, or a braai (barbecue) in the wilderness – accompanied by a bottle of pinotage produced by the oldest wine industry outside <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=358537">Europe</a>.<br />Of course, it's impossible for travellers to South Africa to remain oblivious to the fact that, despite the rise of ‘black diamonds’ (middle-class black folk), racial inequality persists here. Black and coloured townships face problems such as a horrific HIV/AIDS rate and xenophobic tensions caused by economic refugees from nearby countries. <br /><div class="destinationMapLink clearfix"><a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText"></span></a> </div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zc-jYrT--Ps/TylAA722xWI/AAAAAAAABic/iQw4a5c-Dd0/s1600/South+Africa+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zc-jYrT--Ps/TylAA722xWI/AAAAAAAABic/iQw4a5c-Dd0/s320/South+Africa+6.jpg" width="320" /></a>Nonetheless, South Africans are some of the most upbeat, welcoming and humorous folk you’ll encounter anywhere, from farmers in the rural north who tell you to drive safely on those dirt roads, to Khayelitsha kids who wish you <i>molo</i> (‘good morning’ in Xhosa).<a class="pin toggleMap closed" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa#" id="pinToggleMap" style="display: block;"><span class="showMapText">Show in Lonely Planet</span></a><br /><b></b><br /><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><h3 class="themeHeading"> More about South Africa </h3><ul><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CuVFew4lBC0/Tyk_4wgYCNI/AAAAAAAABh8/E6UmfrTz7SU/s1600/South+Africa+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CuVFew4lBC0/Tyk_4wgYCNI/AAAAAAAABh8/E6UmfrTz7SU/s400/South+Africa+2.jpg" width="400" /></a><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/places">Places in South Africa <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/weather">When to go & weather <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/transport/getting-there-away">Getting there & around <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/practical-information/money-costs">Practical information <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/history">History <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/wildlife/overview">Wildlife <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li> <a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/travel-tips-and-articles">Tips & articles <span class="bottom"></span> </a> </li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/">Hotels</a></li></ul></div><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><h3 class="themeHeading"> Make it happen</h3><ul><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/shopSearch?q=south+africa">Shop for travel guides</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/south-africa/">Search hotels</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bookings/flights.do">Cheap flights</a></li><li><a class="linkChevron" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/bookings/insurance.do">Travel insurance</a></li></ul></div><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v8/3c0e/0/0/%2a/r;44306;0-0;0;56635831;33734-479/303;0/0/0;;%7Eokv=;ctt=africa;cnty=south-africa;thm=adventure-travel;tnm=overview;tnm=sponsor-large;rsi=J08781_10159;rsi=J08781_10291;rsi=J08781_10287;rsi=J08781_10052;rsi=J08781_10205;%7Esscs=%3f" target="_top"><img alt="Click here to find out more!" border="0" src="http://s0.2mdn.net/viewad/817-grey.gif" /></a></div>
