BRAG AND BOOST LOCAL TOURISM

South Africa’s diverse people, rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes were not just made to be enjoyed but to be shared with the world. That’s why South African Tourism and Google Arts & Culture have partnered to help both home-grown and international travellers discover the very best the country has to offer virtually, to inspire them to visit in person the moment they are able to.

With South Africa’s tourism sector severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, travellers can visit the online exhibition, South Africa - explore the world in one country, to create endless bucket lists of places to go, things to see, and sounds to take in now and in future.

Here are just some of the wonders you can discover and share in the form of Street Views, exhibits, videos and images.
