Climate

South Africa's climate is healthy and invigorating, and due to the size of the country, varied. Each time of the year offers something different for the visitor.

Adventure

Among the most popular excursions are visits to the country's many superb game parks and game reserves, the most well known being Kruger National Park - not far from South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg. In Kruger one may have the opportunity to see all of the "Big Five" - leopard, lion, elephant, rhino and cape buffalo.

Accommodation ranges from simple National Park lodges to some of the finest private tented camps in the world - with no amenity forgotten. Cape Town, on the southwest coast of South Africa, is a vibrant contrast to the game experience.

With picturesque Table Mountain setting off the city one can also visit the Winelands area and Cape Point - food, drink and fantastic scenery await any visitor to Cape Town. Magnificent mountain scenery in the famed Drakensberg, the ancient forests of Tsitsikamma, the winding roads and historic sites of the Garden Route - all will enrapture the visitor. It is all of this - sanctuaries teeming with wildlife, glorious beaches, gracious winelands, cosmopolitan cities and a rich, diverse cultural heritage which make up South Africa - A World in One Country.
