About South Africa

Discover the colourful variety and scenic beauty of South Africa. Cape Town, the Garden Route, ... Head for the captivating bush kaleidoscope of an authentic African safari.Game drives and bush walks led by skilled rangers and trackers promise close encounters with an infinite array of mammals, birds and reptiles.

South Africa is a tremendously diverse country. "The Rainbow Nation" has something to offer every person - ranging from the continental sidewalk cafes of Cape Town to big game viewing in the many national parks. Experience the excitement of an early morning game drive .... exploring the wilderness on foot ... watching the large Blue Crane strolling across the field .... capturing the large Southern Right Whale calf on film .... watching the smoke from the locomotive drifting across the Karoo landscape ..... buying an wooden African Mask from the street vendor .... view the hectares of Namaqualand wild flowers ... hear, feel, smell and taste South Africa.

South Africa is an exhilarating and complex country. With its post-apartheid identity still in the process of definition, there is undoubtedly an abundance of energy and a sense of progress about the place. Travellers are returning to a remarkable land that has been off the trail for way too long. The infrastructure is constantly improving, the climate is kind and there are few better places to see Africa's wildlife.

When To Go South Africa can be visited comfortably any time. Winter (June to September) is cooler, drier and ideal for hiking and outdoor pursuits. This is also the best time for wildlife-watching. Spring is the best time to see vast expanses of Northern Cape carpeted with wildflowers. Visit the Big 5 There's much more to South Africa than the lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. Hundreds of species of birds and small animals like the cute bushbaby and the curious meerkat abound. And supporting all these is our unparalleled botanical richness.

Cultural experiences From modern art galleries to rock art centres, state-of-the-art museums to remote cultural villages, city jazz clubs to open air festivals ... just some of the ways in which you can experience our rich culture and heritage for yourself.

Adventure heaven Whatever your adventure craving, South Africa can satisfy it. We have world-class climbing, surfing, diving, hiking, horseback safaris, mountain biking, river rafting - and a host of other adventures supported by dedicated operators. Sun, surf & golf From the West Coast's wild stretches of sand to the subtropical shores of Maputaland, there's a beach for every reason.

Watch the sun rise over the Atlantic or Indian Ocean, work up that perfect tan, or get active with some of the world's best surfing, windsurfing and diving. And then there's the golf ... Our cities are an exciting mix of first- and third-world influences. From happening Cape Town - one of the most beautiful cities in the world - to busy, bustling Johannesburg, each has its own unique attractions.

It's a cultural melting pot! South African food celebrates our rich heritage and natural bounty of seafood, meat, game and plants. And our wine has been earning rave reviews internationally for 300 years.
