About South Africa

South Africa is a melting pot of cultures, languages and traditions, and it is characterised simultaneously by integration and distinct differences, a factor which makes the country all the more fascinating.

Covering a huge swathe of land, washed by the Atlantic and Indian oceans, South Africa has enormous wealth above and below ground, making it one of the richest natural storehouses on the planet.

The seaside city of Cape Town, extending out from the base of the breathtaking, flat-topped Table Mountain, is undoubtedly South Africa’s most stunning urban destination.
