South Africa is a "rainbow" nation of diversity, with a wide variety of cultures, languages and religious beliefs. It has much to offer for any visitor, whether it be adventure, leisure, a safari or just bussiness - South Africa is indeed a 'world in one country'.

Stretching over 2,000 kilometres (1,240 miles) from the Limpopo River forming the northern border, to Cape Agulhas, Africa’s southernmost point and the meeting point of the mighty Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The South-western Cape enjoys a Mediterranean climate, conducive to lovely beaches and historic vineyards. The contrast to the desert landscape of the North-western Cape is marked, especially when the spring rains each year bring an endless carpet of colourful flowers to Namaqualand, transforming desert into a wonderland of colour. The Mpumalanga and Kwazulu Natal african bushveld offers many public and private game and wildlife reserves, including the world-famous Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe/Umfolozi National Park, and sightings of the Big Five animals (Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, and Rhino) are often the order of the day.

South Africa's predominantly sunny and dry climate makes it the ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering watersports, hiking, fishing, climbing and river rafting, to name a few. The main cities are Johannesburg, (City of Gold) and Pretoria (Jacaranda city), together forming the centre of finance and industry, historic Cape Town (the Mother city) with its stunning backdrop of Table Mountain, tropical Durban with sandy beaches and warm sea-water, and Port Elizabeth and Knysna, centre of the Garden Route
