Why South Africa? Her natural beauty is legendary, her wildlife is majestic and there's something for everyone here! Know the country! The Republic of South Africa, is located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa, with nine provinces and a coastline of 2700 odd kilometers. This democracy is a multi ethnic nation. Eighty percent of the population is of African ancestry. The main languages spoken are Afrikaans, English and many variants of Bantu language. The cities like Cape Town, Pretoria, Durban, Johannesburg and Kimberly are each uniquely important to South Africa’s evolution through the ages and a visit to each is rewarding. There are tours to the many interesting and beautiful regions in South Africa, mostly originating from the bustling capital Cape Town, tours to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape which cover cities, beaches, mountains, safaris and more. Travel agents offer different itineraries within the same price range to help the visitor make an easy choice. Weather-wise, the region is comfortably free from extremes. South Africa has a warm temperate climate. In fact, the Western Cape enjoys Mediterranean type of climate with hot summers and cool wet winters. Daytime summer temperatures are in the range of 28 to 35 degrees Celsius while the winter night-time temperatures are in the range of 0 to 12 degrees. You need to remember that the seasons in South Africa are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere! Summer is enjoyed between the months of November and February. Think South Africa and safari comes to mind. The African bush is at its greenest with the summer rainfall and this makes summer the best time for safaris in the Kruger National Park or other game reserves with newborns of many species making their appearance. However visibility is much better in winter as animals gather at watering-holes in the leafless grasslands. Adventure activities in the awe inspiring Drakensberg Mountains are best enjoyed in the summer months. Apart from safari, late summer in February-March is the best time for the ‘Garden Route’ tour and a stay in Cape Town as the weather is warm. Whale watching off the Cape’s coast is done in late winter and early spring- July to October and wild flowers in the Western Cape are in full bloom in the early spring. Thus any time is a good time to visit here. Visiting the island nation of Mauritius from South Africa is very convenient, as both the countries enjoy a special relationship. South Africa is Mauritius’ largest trading partner. Picturesque in its natural beauty, Mauritius is actually a group of islands that have formed as a result of a volcanic eruption!
