VISITING SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa is located on the southern tip of the African continent, bordered by neighbors Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It encompasses the independent mountain kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland and is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the warm Indian Ocean on the east, giving the country its spectacular range of biodiversity.

South Africa enjoys a temperate and pleasant climate, with warm sunny days most of the year. The seasons of the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere so its summer runs from October to March, when most of the country is characterized by warm to hot weather.

South Africa is a year-round destination, so when you visit depends on what you intend to do. The best time for game-viewing is in early spring (August to October). The Southern right whales can be seen off the coast from June to the end of October, and the humpback whales from August to December. Holiday-makers stream out of the cities from mid-December to late January and resorts and national parks are heavily booked during these times (so we advise you book your accommodation in South Africa for these holiday periods early, to avoid disappointment).

THE PEOPLE AND LANGUAGES
South Africa have been referred to as the ‘rainbow nation’, a title which illuminates the country’s cultural diversity. The population of South Africa is one of the most complex and diverse in the world. Of the 54 million South Africans, nearly 45 million are Black, 5 million White, 3 million Colored (a term used peoples of mixed African, Asian and White descent) and 1 million Indian. The population density is 32.9 people per sq km.

There are 11 officially recognized languages, most of which are indigenous to South Africa. English is spoken universally. It is the language of the cities, of commerce and banking, of government and official documents. All our road signs and official forms are in English and at any South African hotel, Bed and Breakfast or Guest House the service staff will speak English. Other languages you can expect to hear are Xhosa, Zulu and Afrikaans.
