The Republic of South Africa attracts more tourists that any other part of sub-Saharan Africa and comprises an especially diverse landscape, with gigantic cities and truly breathtaking natural panoramas. South Africa is the perfect destination for lovers of wildlife and is edged by the Atlantic Ocean and also the Indian Ocean, along with the African countries of Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.
The South African economy is by far the largest in the whole of Africa and the ethnically mixed communities speak more than ten different officially recognised languages. In just the space of 24 hours, it is possible to check out the historic vineyards around the Western Cape and then journey to the vast Kalahari region, or to enjoy time exploring a Zulu village before heading to the capital city of Cape Town and dining at one of its many restaurants, which are plentiful around its beautiful Victoria and Albert waterfront.
Of course, many tourists come to Africa to visit a safari park and experience wild African animals. The Kruger National Park is amongst the most popular, and those who choose to safari here can see elephants, giraffes, lions and zebras, roaming around in their native habitat. Alternatively, head to the coast, where you will find some truly
world-class surfing conditions and glorious beaches.
