South Africa

South Africa has been described as “A World in One Country” for good reason. It has enormous biological, geographical and cultural diversity; beautiful beaches on the cold Atlantic Ocean and on the warm Indian Ocean, rugged mountains, montane and coastal forest, desert and semi-desert, open grasslands, wetlands and rivers and savannah woodland teeming with wildlife in the Kruger National Park, one of the greatest national parks in the world.

With 19 national parks, countless game reserves, more than 3000 km of coastline, 11 official languages, exceptional wildlife and well-developed infrastructure, South Africa is the ultimate African destination.
