“Sanibonani!” – A warm African hello

South Africa, a land with beautiful scenery across diverse landscapes, a deep and rich history.

South Africa appeals to travellers in many ways and can cater to various travel expectations. Families, couples as well as those looking to explore on their own, have their dreams of an African adventure made a reality, right here in South Africa. There is an extraordinary natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. As one of the most diverse countries in the world, the people, history and culture offer travellers a unique travel experience without having to go very far. It is a country with a dichotomy of untamed beauty and world class glamour. A place of colour and contrast. A land where modern meets rustic, technology meets tradition and cosmopolitan cityscapes blend effortlessly with the natural beauty of terrain and wildlife.

South Africa is situated at the extreme southern tip of the African continent, comprising territory that ranges from the rolling, fertile plains of the Highveld; to the wide open savannah of Mpumalanga; to the Kalahari Desert; and the peaks of the Drakensberg mountains. With numerous cultures calling this land home, South Africa is certainly a vibrant melting pot worth exploring! The country has 11 official languages, and many more unofficial languages. This colourful mix of cultures gives South Africa its nickname “rainbow nation“. One cannot help but fall in love with South Africa and its beautiful people.

What you need to know

With the option of whale-watching during the spring months (September to October) and game viewing during autumn and winter, (May to September) and then luxury beach holidays during spring and summer (November to March), South Africa has year-round travel attractions. The climate in South Africa is very varied across the country due to the wide range of altitudes. Coastal temperatures are more temperate than internal areas, and high altitude areas will have colder temperatures than those closer to sea level. Most of the country experiences warm, sunny days and cooler nights.

From rolling hills to roaming wildlife, here is an untapped wonderland of unforgettable experiences.

Current is 220 volts at 50HZ cycles per second. A three-point round-pin adapter plug should be brought for your electrical appliances. Such adapters are also available at major airports.
