Rather, it is the harshness of the country itself. An escapee from a Southeast Asian prison camp must burrow through rotting rain forests, fight off swarms of bugs, swim mighty, mud-thick rivers that cut between the region's steep mountains, and find a way to signal the U.S. rescue planes that orbit high over the jungle.

Fine wine grapes grow in the protected valleys in the southwest, while elephant, rhino and springbok range the high savanna of Kruger National Park in the northeast. Ostrich farms dot the harsh, baked landscape beneath the kopjes (flat-topped hills) of the Great Karroo, where two centuries ago Dutch trekboers lived in small nomadic communi ties.
