   South Africa Travel Information

The country of South Africa is located on the southern tip of Africa and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Indian Sea to the East. This location between 2 oceans represents a subtle dichotomy that is evident on all levels throughout this beautiful country. Geographically, South Africa is as diverse as a country 5 times its size with beautiful tropical beaches, vast mountain ranges, lush jungles, temperate coastlines, desert and beautiful wine regions.  Social economically, this dichotomy still exists today as the indigenous people and tribes of South Africa find their way in their newly liberated country.  Johannesburg is in the center of South Africa and is the largest city in South Africa.  Johannesburg is known to be the "gateway" to South Africa with its central location and convenient access to other areas of the country.  Cape Town is one of the most visited destinations in South Africa and Africa as a continent. Cape Town is located on a beautiful bay which is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the majestic Table Mountain on the other side.  Millions of visitor’s flock to Cape Town every year to enjoy its natural beauty, wonderful food, friendly people and relaxed lifestyle. Durban is a beautiful city on the northern coast of South Africa in the KwaZulu-Natal province.  Located in the Indian Ocean, the warm water and semi tropical weather makes Durban the perfect destination to enjoy a beach vacation with your friends or family.  As a result of these dichotomies, there is much for the traveler to experience and enjoy in this amazing country.

There is much to see as a visiting traveler to South Africa.  If you are starting your trip in Cape Town, you can drive the famous Garden Route and find beautiful beaches all the way up to Port Elizabeth.  For a taste of the tropics head up to Durban which sits right on the Indian Ocean and has warm, tropical, climate to be enjoyed year-round.  Of course, no trip to South Africa is complete without a trip to the game reserves in Kruger National Park.  It is here where you will have the best chance to see to the Big 5.  If you are traveling to South Africa for the first time, you will want to take some time visiting the city of Johannesburg.  Once you arrive in Johannesburg, top areas of interest include the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, the multicultural suburb of Rosebank, Mandela House, Delta Park, Lesedi Cultural Village and many more. Ancient dolomite caves (Sterkfontein Caves) are just a few miles outside of Johannesburg which draw in visitors from around the world each year.
