South Africa

The Rainbow Nation

The southern tip of Africa, where two great oceans meet and warm weather lasts most of the year, is a kaleidoscope of colours, cultures and traditions. It is a land of great deserts, thundering oceans, golden bushveld and game reserves teeming with wildlife. Big name highlights include Kruger National Park, the Drakensberg, Zululand, Cape Town and Garden Route.

Home to more species of plant and animal than anywhere else on the planet, holidays in South Africa offer a wealth of things to do and places to see. From the river banks of the Limpopo to the rugged cliffs of the Cape of Good Hope, travellers could spend many months taking in this impressive nation – and still only scratch the surface. Bordered by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, it also encompasses the independent mountain kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland.
