South Africa

The best known travel destination in Southern Africa is definitely the Republic of South Africa, where you can’t help but be allured by the wide savannah, breath-taking mountains, endless beaches, the desert, tropical rain-forests, swamps, river- and coastal landscapes, and the colourful pulsating life of the busy cities.

Equally renowned for its wealth of wildlife, South Africa also offers the visitor the Big 6 - rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and whales, which can be seen along the 3000km long coastline. The sheer diversity of its bird- and plant life is astounding.

The people of South Africa, with their cultures, their traditions and their strong will to shape the future of their young nation combine all of this with their achievements of modern times. The charms of South Africa are varied: from the diverse metropolis’ of Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to the animal and nature paradise of Kruger National Park, from the lush wetlands of the KwaZulu-Natal to the arid Karoo of the Eastern Cape there is plenty to see and be enchanted by.
