Visit South Africa
Sunny South Africa is one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the world. From the rugged northern regions of the Kruger National Park, one of the biggest National Parks in the world, right down to the beautiful southern coastal regions, South Africa offers views and experiences aplenty.
Experience the thrills and adventures of a lifetime at Sun City's Lost City or surf on the excellent waves of Jeffrey's Bay. Gaze at elephant and other wildlife walking past your front porch during breakfast while the sun rises over the African bush. Experience the mist against your face while standing on top of Table Mountain and gazing over the Atlantic Ocean for miles and miles around. Or bungee jump in the Eastern Cape.
Visit a traditional African village or go hiking in the splendour of the Drakensberg Mountains. From desert to forest, from bush to rolling open plains, South Africa offers the tourist a world in one country.
Flora and fauna
Fynbos, a floral kingdom unique to South Africa, is found near Cape Town. South Africa is one of only 17 countries worldwide considered Mega-diverse. It has more than 20,000 different plants, or about 10% of all the known species of plants on Earth, making it particularly rich in plant biodiversity. South Africa is the third most bio-diverse country in the world, after Brazil and Indonesia and has greater bio-diversity than any country of equal or smaller size (Brazil being roughly seven times South Africa's size, and Indonesia more than 50% larger).
South Africa's most prevalent biome is grassland, particularly on the Highveld, where the plant cover is dominated by different grasses, low shrubs, and acacia trees, mainly camel-thorn and whitethorn. Vegetation becomes even sparser towards the northwest due to low rainfall. There are several species of water-storing succulents like aloes and euphorbia in the very hot and dry Namaqualand area. The grass and thorn savannah turns slowly into a bush savannah towards the north-east of the country, with more dense growth. There are significant numbers of baobab trees in this area, near the northern end of Kruger National Park.
South African weather
Many overseas and especially European tourists keep on coming back because of the lovely sunny weather of our beautiful country.
Just as the demographics, the weather can differ from region to region but sunny skies are guaranteed all year round during your stay in SA.
Diverse Cultures
Being the talk of the world after President Nelson Mandela showed what true democracy is all about; SA is a country of many diverse cultures. South Africa is often called the "Rainbow Nation", a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and later adopted by the then President Nelson Mandela. Mandela used the term "Rainbow Nation" as a metaphor to describe the country's newly developing multicultural diversity.
Most probably the only country in the world with 11 official languages, diversity is really South Africa. According to the 2001 National Census, the three most spoken first home languages are Zulu (23.8%), Xhosa (17.6%) and Afrikaans (13.3%).
It may be argued that there is no "single" culture in South Africa because of its ethnic diversity. Today, the diversity in foods from many cultures is enjoyed by all and especially marketed to tourists who wish to sample the large variety of South African cuisine. In addition to food, music and dance feature prominently.
