Known as the "Rainbow Country," South Africa boasts fascinating natural beauty and a great diversity of plants and animals. An authoritative survey shows that, the number of species on such a land with a limited area of only 1.22 million square kilometers is ranked second in the world.

 

With a variety of landscapes, diverse cultures, and a vast territory, South Africa is the ideal place for vacation. It has a wide range of climates and terrains on its 1,221.037 thousand square kilometers of land. The temperature is moderate in most areas and it’s not so warm in summer; in winter, except for inland and mountainous areas, there is no snow; in autumn, red leaves cover all over the mountains; while it turns into a sea of flowers in spring. Sunflowers and corn field stretches endlessly; fruits are bountiful in apple orchards and vineyards, coastlines zigzag gorgeously; folk customs invite every guest; the mountains, the forests, the lakes and the sea are so splendid and inviting...
