Visit the southern tip and the whole of Africa is at your feet

Now you can go to the southern tip of Africa and explore the entire continent.

Africa has about a fifth of the world's population, but produces less than 4% of global carbon dioxide emissions, the major driver of climate change.

Now you can go to the southern tip of Africa and explore the entire continent.

The Iconic Map of Africa, unveiled on Tuesday by tourism minister Derek Hanekom, is a topographic representation of the continent. Tourists visiting Agulhas National Park will be able to walk all over the monument, built on the seashore adjacent to the southern tip.

The R15m monument has been in the planning stages since 2012, and SA National Parks hopes it will increase visitor numbers.
