THE COUNTRY
South Africa promises visitors a unique experience. The country attracts travellers from all over the world thanks to its warm welcome, climate, spectacular scenery, diverse cultures, wildlife and vastness.
The animals alone are reason enough to visit South Africa. One of the world's first areas of wildlife conservation is the Kruger Park, which dates back more than a century. Today, it is part of a vast conservation area that includes private and public nature parks and stretches across the border into neighbouring Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
There are many other reasons to come to South Africa: golden beaches, surf spots, spectacular landscapes from mountains to deserts, ecosystems found nowhere else and the opportunity to experience a unique African culture.
