Information about South Africa

Map of South Africa
The Republic of South Africa is a truly remarkable country and one which, in recent years, has undergone some of the most dramatic changes in history. South Africa is a vast country and travelling between its many centres of interest will almost inevitably involve internal air travel. It shares land borders with Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia and within its borders lie the independent kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland. South Arica is a home to many incomparable sights and experiences including those featured below.

Cape Town - The country's number one attraction, affectionately known as the 'Mother City', and home to the lively Victoria and Albert Waterfront, with its craft and souvenir shops, restaurants, bars and street entertainers.

Stellenbosch and the Winelands - Known as the town of oaks and just one hour from Cape Town. One of the best preserved towns in the country with many Dutch-style buildings, it is also the second oldesttown in the country, after Cape Town and the commercial centre for the wine growing region.

The Garden Route - One of South Africa's best known areas running between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth on the South Coast. Stunning and varied scenery, located between the mountains to the north and the beaches and ocean to the South, make the Garden Route one of South Africa's 'must-do' itineraries, particularly for the self-drive enthusiast.

Kruger National Park - One of the best known game reserves in the world, stretching 400 kilometres east to west. This vast area supports 147 mammal species including the 'big five' of lion, leopard, elephant, hippo and buffalo as well as reptiles, amphibians, fish and over 300 tree species.

Sun City - Located close to Pilanesburg National Park, about and hour and half north-west of Johannesburg, Sun City is a purpose-built leisure complex comprising a choice of accommodations, theme park, golf course, cinema, health spa, a choice of restaurants and a casino
