South Africa Travel Guide and Lodging Directory

»

South Africa's climatic temperature varies from cold mild winters between 0-16C (32-59F) to warm, hot summers between 20-40C (68-104F). Summer is from October to March and winter from April to September which is a welcome winter get-away for visitors from the Northern Hemisphere.‘Jo’burg’, the capital of the region Gauteng, is a fascinating city with a modern centre, combining its ways with the older surroundings.

It is a very modern city by African standards but it does not hold many attractions for tourists. Sights in Johannesburg include the new Museum Africa which offers an honest and self-critical look at the nation’s sometimes troubled past and the Market Theater Complex which houses theaters and a Saturday flea market.

A range of jagged mountains thrusting into the splendid desolation of the southern Atlantic, the Cape Peninsula is one of the world's most beautiful places.

Pristine beaches, sheltered bays and secluded coves encircle the majestic might of Table Mountain, a World Heritage Site and home to some 8,500 species of flower. Between the mountain's looming crags and Table Bay's deep blue sweep lies South Africa's Mother City and the cosmopolitan hub of the Western Cape Province - Cape Town.

Located in the north-east corner of South Africa on the border with Mozambique, Kruger park is one of the best national parks in the world. The park is home to great numbers and varieties of amphibians, reptiles, birds and 147 mammal species, including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant). Mopane trees dominate the northern part of the park, which is famous for its elephants and large herds of buffalo.
