Tourism South Africa

Located in the far south of Africa, South Africa benefits from a diverse ecosystem that offers you an exceptional landscape with its mountains in the Cape. It is also a safari land; whether for observation or hunting, Kruger National Park, where you will find big game, will satisfy those who are passionate about this practice.

The rainbow country is also famous for its heavenly beaches, especially the muizenberg beach, which is nicely decorated with colourful huts along the coast, and the Boulder beach, where you will find very charming inhabitants (penguins).

Its capital, Johannesburg, is one of the most popular cities in the world and known for its contrasting character between the city centre and the popular district of Soweto.
