Tour South Africa

South Africa

South Africa is the most geographically varied country on the African continent ranging from rolling, fertile plains and wide open savannas to the Kalahari Desert and the peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains.

Roughly the size of Texas, South Africa is situated at the most southern tip of Africa with the unique feature of two large oceans – namely the Atlantic and the Indian – wash its shores meeting at Cape Agulhas – one of the only places in the world where indeed one can watch two oceans meet.

While South Africa may lie at the bottom of Africa, it is widely regarded as the very best that Africa has to offer in terms of its superb infrastructure, legendary sunny climate and incredible geographic diversity.

Visitors can expect superb beaches, dramatic mountain ranges, sophisticated cities, quaint villages, historic battlefields, oceans, valleys, bushveld teeming with game, hundreds of species of birds, great and small semi-deserts, wide open spaces … and much more.

South Africa comprises nine provinces with probably the best known to international visitors being the Western Cape, Cape Town and the Cape Winelands; Mpumalanga for its spectacular scenery and Kruger National Park; KwaZulu-Natal, with Durban’s historic battlefields and wonderful beaches. The other six provinces – the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and Free State – also offer their own unique sights and experiences, and you’ll find out about them later on when you study the different province modules.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela led South Africa into Africa’s first true democracy in 1994 resulting in the total integration of more than 60-million people with a rich, fascinating mix of cultures and history arising out of the 11 ethnic groups where English remains the most commonly understood language.

The establishment of Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) in 2020 marked a pivotal step in coordinating and accelerating infrastructure development. The National Infrastructure Plan 2050 outlines the country’s long-term vision, focusing on sectors including energy, water, transport and digital infrastructure, laying the foundation for sustainable growth and improved quality of life for all South Africans.
