#MeetSouthAfrica: this video will make you reconsider what you think you know

Watch this exquisite (and hopefully soon-to-be) viral YouTube video about South Africa, and you may rethink your views on the country.

The video was done by South African Tourism and with more than 160 000 views in 5 days, it is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It captures the some of the best experiences of the nation: seeing the Table Mountain from the sea, sipping wine in the fields of Stellenbosch, strolling through art museums and organic flea markets in Johannesburg, surfing some waves and exploring the epic nature that is abundant throughout the land. They even pop by Robben Island and traditional celebrations in the forest.

The clip is very well put together and deserving of the tag line they give it: “When you #MeetSouthAfrica you’ll reconsider what you think you know.”

Stay till the end… there is a nice twist.

If you have been to South Africa, let us know in the comments what other great experiences of the country they left out.
