This is a genuine Video Visits® Travel Library documentary on VHS, offering a vibrant, colour-filmed exploration of South Africa's diverse landscapes, cities, and wildlife. The programme takes viewers on a guided tour from Johannesburg's gold-built urban centre through Durban's multicultural energy, Cape Town's Table Mountain vistas, and the dramatic Drakensburg Mountains, culminating in an unforgettable safari experience at the Londolozi Game Reserve.
Narrated and scored with engaging music, this is a classic armchair travel documentary from the Video Visits® collection — a series designed to bring the world's greatest destinations into the home. Rated U for Universal, it is family-friendly and suitable for all ages, making it perfect for history enthusiasts, travel lovers, collectors of vintage VHS, and anyone wishing to explore South Africa's natural and cultural heritage from home.
This is a deleted title and a genuine piece of 1990s educational travel programming — increasingly scarce as VHS becomes collectable.
