    The Leopard Voyage Podcast

    South Africa’s diversity is unlike anywhere else in the world. It is present in our multitude of histories, the sprawling cities and boundless rural villages, and the wide range of ecosystems that have shaped the distinct plants and animals that we find here.  It is home to the Big Five and the equally alluring Little Five. In a single day, you can travel from the arid Namaqualand with its natural flower show to the icy waters of Cape Town with its colonies of penguins, packs of seals and pods of whales. Or great white sharks, for the brave. You can scale the peaks of the snow-capped Drakensberg and soak in the tropically warm waters of Durban within a few hours. But, in between all these spectacles, one encounters our true heterogeneity, our people. You’ll receive as much warmth filling up at the local petrol station as you will at the nearby international hotel.  Our cultures mix and mesh to offer internationally awarded wines alongside traditional Umqombothi and world-ranked restaurants situated down the road from corner shops famed for their bunny chow. In this podcast, Diana Granoux, captures the multitude of unique opportunities for the informed visitor. Season 1 features 8 South Africans from a mix of backgrounds and professions.  We’ll gather insights from experts on photography to the oceans, from food and wine to botany and art. These passionate people will share what they love most about South Africa and provide you with a unique perspective on what this destination has to offer.
