South Africa

When looking at the world as one creation, each country displays some form of diversity, and then there is South Africa.

With the crocodiles in the Limpopo River to the penguins waddling on the Cape, South Africa could easily be the definition of diversity. Situated at the southern point of the world's's most majestic continent where the two oceans meet, South Africa is waiting to expose her beauty. There is the forsaken Kalahari, the ever-green Garden Route
and the hustle and bustle of wildlife in the Kruger National Park.

For those in search of a different kind of wildlife, they need not look any further then Cape Town's very own Long Street. Explore the epic nightlife of Cape Town in style after enjoying a mouth watering Cape Malay dish. Looking for something to tantalize those taste buds? - Look no further then Durban's Indian area for the best tasting
curry. Your trip to South Africa will not be complete until you have had a braai (BBQ), not forgetting a bottle of pinotage produced by the oldest wine industry outside of Europe.

Once you plant your initial footstep on South African soil, you will come across various different terminologies. When you have your first conversation with a South African and they say they'll do something 'just now', it may perhaps mean anything from a couple of minutes, days or even up to a week. Then there is the expression
'now-now", which commonly means a bit more rapidly. We also call our traffic lights; 'Robots'. We are a sociable bunch of people and think nothing of inviting you over for a 'Braai' (BBQ), the day after meeting you.

Interesting Facts
Approximately 900 bird species are found in South Africa alone, which represents 10% of the world's total bird species.
Climate Conditions
Climate conditions generally range from Mediterranean in the south western corner of the country to temperate in the interior plateau, and subtropical in the northeast. A small area in the northwest has a desert climate. Most of the country has warm, sunny days and cool nights. Rainfall generally occurs during summer (November - March), although in the southwest, around Cape Town, rainfall occurs in winter (from June - August). On all our tours, it is best to bring warm clothing - raincoat, warm hat, socks etc.
