South Africa has been described as offering the whole world in one country. The variety of scenery is astonishing: from beautiful forests to dramatic coastlines and vibrant cities. There are eleven official languages.

Blue skies, game parks, wilderness areas, and the promise of a sun-drenched holiday are what draw most visitors to this country. South Africa, roughly the size of Spain and France combined, encompasses an outstanding diversity of environments. The many wildlife parks further north are home to the buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino, while wetlands and marine reserves along the east coast teem with sea creatures and colourful birds, great and small which are often overlooked.

South Africa’s flora has charmed visitors and intrigued botanists for years. Many species are widely distributed within the county, but each region has produced distinct characteristics, the result of varying geographic, climatic and soil conditions.
