South Africa: A destination for all occasions

Tourists the world over arrive in awe at what South Africa has to offer, from stunning canyons and mountain passes to unrivalled safari and a unique, compelling cultural history

Inspiring landscapes, world-beating safari, outdoor adventures and a tumultuous history – South Africa has it all. Since the official end of apartheid in the mid-1990s the nation has been a favoured destination for travellers who flock to embrace its natural beauty and fascinating cultural diversity.

This diversity is exemplified by its physical setup. Major cities are spread far and wide, some being thousands of miles from key settlements in other African countries. Another nuance of South Africa’s formation is the fact it has not one, but three recognised capitals – Pretoria is home to the country’s executive, Cape Town its legislature and Bloemfontein the judiciary.

This, adding in the fact that Lesotho is landlocked inside South African territory, makes the nation one of a kind.

South Africa also comes into its own in terms of its hugely varied and extraordinary terrain. From the enormous Blyde River Canyon to

Table Mountain and dramatic coastal roads to the Karoo and Kalahari deserts, this is an outdoor lover’s paradise.

Visitors would also be encouraged to learn about South Africa’s past to fully appreciate the country’s identity and cultural fabric, whether it be exploring one of the many fascinating museums and galleries that can be found in every major city.

Throw in a largely comfortable temperate climate that sees plenty of sunshine, and you will find the complete tourist package.
