Crystal blue skies, harsh desert wastelands, snow-capped mountains and untamed wilderness. A land of contrast where hopes and dreams are realised and the wealth of a country is measured by the richness of its people.

In South Africa the spirit of Ubuntu flourishes, bringing communities together and uplifting a nation. And the legacy of a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past, the history of its people and the promise of its future becomes a destination in its own right.

Gautrain The Golden Train for the people on the move The Gautrain offers commuters a safe, quick and comfortable way to commute in Gauteng between Sandton and the OR Tambo International Airport and between Johannesburg and Pretoria. It takes less than 15 minutes from Sandton to Airport, while a trip from Hatfield Station in Pretoria to Park Station in Johannesburg takes approximately 42 minutes. The Gautrain service operates from Monday to Sunday between 05:30 to 20:30. Trains and buses are available every 12 minutes during peak times (05:30 to 08:30 and 16:00 to 19:00), and every 20 minutes during off-peak times. On weekends the train service is available every 30 minutes, while the bus service does not operate on weekends or public holidays. The train service is complemented by a dedicated bus fleet which transport passengers between stations and surrounding suburbs and business nodes. What makes using the Gautrain system so easy to use is that the Gautrain train, bus and parking fares are charged on the same cashless smart card system. So commuters can transfer easily between the different services using the same, reusable smart card – the “Gautrain Gold Card”. Fares are based on the principle of affordability and are highly competitive compared to other modes of public transport. They are sufficiently price-attractive to create a substantial shift from private car use to public transport in the form of Gautrain. System safety and security is Gautrain’s highest priority. Over 700 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras keep a watchful eye over the entire system with over 400 security guards employed for the security of the system. In addition, the Police are present at each station. Only valid Gautrain smart card holders have access to station precincts, buses, car parks and trains. The automatic fare collection system electronically scan tickets and smart cards swiped at station access gates. Once inside the train, additional security systems further ensure that passengers safely reach their destinations.

Gauteng A powerhouse of possibility

Johannesburg City

The principal cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria make Gauteng the commercial, industrial and administrative heart of South Africa and an important powerhouse for the whole of Southern Africa. Despite the urbanisation of these two cities, opportunities for getting back to nature abound in the surrounding areas. Game farms, dams, lakes, rivers, hiking trails and picnic spots are plentiful. A high-speed train, The Gautrain, links Pretoria and Johannesburg. Johannesburg is the major international gateway to South Africa. This vibrant and dynamic city has a throbbing pulse and an awesome sense of rhythm. Johannesburg’s history dates back to 1866 when gold was discovered. A historical theme park, Gold Reef City, is a replica of old Johannesburg and a highlight. Since the 1976 riots, the name Soweto has been synonymous with this resilient community’s liberation struggle and today tourists can visit famous landmarks, sample traditional cuisine and interact with the entrepreneurs who keep this city alive. Johannesburg and surrounding suburbs boast superb hotels, restaurants, cultural attractions, world-class golf courses and shopping centres. Known as the Jacaranda City, Pretoria has a long and fascinating history. The city’s central feature, Church Square, remains dominated by a huge bronze statue of Paul Kruger, regarded as the father of Afrikaanerdom and high on a hill south of the city centre lies the massive Voortrekker Monument. The most famous of all Pretoria’s landmarks is the magnificent crescent-shaped Union Buildings. The Transvaal Museum has wonderful natural history displays and is the home of Mrs Ples, the australopithecine fossil found at Sterkfontein. The Cullinan Diamond Mine, where the largest diamond in the world was found, is also a ‘must see’. While this city is undoubtedly deeply routed in the past, it also offers visitors superb shops, restaurants and a vibrant arts community.

Free State Spacious and enchanting

Golden Gate

Wedged between the magnificent Orange and Vaal Rivers, lies the Free State Province. A region blessed with such beauty and grace that for scores of years, thousands of pioneers paid the ultimate sacrifice for the honour and privilege of calling the Free State their home. Embraced by several of South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provinces, the Free State assumes its rightful place at the heart of the country. Today, visitors and inhabitants alike are rediscovering their souls through the majesty of this land and the moulded spiritual ethos of its people. The Free State is a rural province of wide horizons and blue skies, with farmland, mountains, goldfields and widely dispersed towns. The land of the windpomp and krummelpap is peaceful, with a high quality of life, good infrastructure and a low crime rate. The Orange River forms the southern boundary of the Free State and includes the Gariep and Vanderkloof Dams, which are the largest dams in the country. The northern Free State is drained by smaller rivers, which are, as is the Orange River, extensively utilised for irrigation.

Lesotho Majestic peaks and endless horizons

Katse Dam

The Kingdom of Lesotho is completely surrounded by the Republic of South Africa. Its boundaries run with those of KwaZulu-Natal to the east, Eastern Cape to the south and the Free State to the north and west. It covers an area of approximately 30 300 square kilometres of which about one quarter in the west is lowland country, varying in height above sea level from 1 500 to 1 600 m. The remaining three quarters being highlands, rising to a height of 3 482 m at ThabanaNtlenyana in the Maluti Range, which forms the eastern boundary with KwaZulu-Natal. The mountain ranges run from north to south and those in the central area, the Maluti, are spurs of the main Drakensberg, which they join in the north, forming a high plateau varying in height from 2 700 to 3 400 m. It is in this area where two of the largest rivers in Southern Africa, the Orange (Senqu) and the Tugela and tributaries of the Caledon, have their source. This phenomenon has caused Lesotho to be called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spongeâ&#x20AC;? of Southern Africa.

Eastern Cape Where startling beauty meet a world of diversities

Kenton on Sea

The Eastern Cape is an area of extraordinary diversity, from reclaimed wildlife reserves, a rich cultural heritage to beautiful coastal resorts and golden beaches. In contrast to the sophistication of towns and seaside resorts, this province stretches to the quiet foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains and across to the sparsely populated Great Karoo plains - taking in a variety of sheep farms, ostrich farms and game reserves along the way, including the famous Addo Elephant National Park. The Eastern Cape is South Africa’s second largest province and although unjustifiably underrated as a game destination, it is malaria free and offers a wide variety of wildlife in both national and private game reserves. Shamwari, between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, was the first private conservation initiative in the Eastern Cape and due to its unmitigated success of maintaining environmental integrity and increasing tourism, other private reserves and lodges have followed suit. The Addo Elephant National Park stretches from the ocean to the Zuurberg Mountains and is famed for its elephants and diversity of game. The stretch of coastline from Port Elizabeth to the Fish River is aptly known as the ‘Sunshine Coast’. Well known for its surfing and holiday resorts, this area is a beach-lovers paradise. The rugged Wild Coast runs from East London to Port Edward and is an area of spectacular scenery, thick indigenous forests and rich in the cultural heritage of the Xhosa people. The friendly city of Port Elizabeth is the largest city on the coast between Cape Town and Durban. Situated at the mouth of the Buffalo River, East London is South Africa’s only river port. Academically orientated Grahamstown is home to the National Arts Festival and along with Graaff-Reinet, known for their historic buildings and interesting museums.

The hotel offers sublime winelands getaways and a variety of activities on the estate enable guests to explore contemporary South Africa through food, wine and art in beautiful surroundings. It was one of the first hotels in South Africa to be Fair Trade in Tourism certified. It is the combination of old-world elegance and contemporary culture that makes Spier an interesting place to visit. The wine farm has an impressive collection of Cape Dutch gables, a recorded history dating back to 1692, and its winery is one of the most awarded in South Africa. The hotel’s rooms are situated in village-style buildings grouped around six private courtyards – each with its own swimming pool – in a design reminiscent of the Bo-Kaap or Mediterranean villages where pedestrians have right of way. Care was taken to complement the existing heritage buildings. Rolling lawns, gardens and walkways connect the rooms with the reception area, lounge, bar, terrace and restaurant. The décor includes a collection of striking contemporary art, and features a sophisticated, vibrant style with strong colours, patterns and textures that echo nature’s designs. The new restaurant, Eight, is an exciting opportunity for guests to pair great food and wine. It also best reflects Spier’s ethos – like its name, Eight signifies balance, abundance, harmony and cycles, and has a focus on local, fresh, natural and organic food and wine.
