South Africa is one of the most diverse and enchanting
countries in the world. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and
culture offer the traveller a unique and inspiring experience. Here are the
quick facts to get you started.
Location:
South Africa is located
on the southern tip of the African continent, bordered by northern neighbours
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.
Size:
South Africa occupies 4%
of the continent's total landmass, covering an area of 1 221 040 square
kilometres. The country is five times larger than Great Britain and three times
the size of Texas.
Climate:
South Africa enjoys a temperate and
pleasant climate, with lovely warm sunny days most of the year. The seasons of
the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere so our
summers runs from November to February, when most of the country is
characterised by hot weather with afternoon thunderstorms. Winters are
generally mild and dry. South Africa enjoys one of the world's highest average
daily hours of sunshine - 8.5 compared with 3.8 in London, 6.4 in Rome and 6.9
in New York.
