South Africa

South Africa is one of the most geographically varied countries of the African continent, comprising territory that ranges from the rolling, fertile plains of the highveld and the wide open savanna in the East, to the Kalahari desert and the peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains. While all of its diverse regions offer ample opportunities for adventure travel, the focus in South Africa, as in much of sub-Saharan Africa, is the safari and the multitude of photographic opportunities it brings.

South Africa is located on the southern tip of Africa. It is divided into nine spectacular provinces and has 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) of coastline. It boasts some of the most diverse and spectacular wildlife in the 19 parks that cover  3,751,113 hectares (37,511.13 km2), or just over 3% of the total area of South Africa.

To the north lie the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is surrounded by South African territory. South Africa is the 25th largest country in the world by area and the 24th most populous country with over 51 million people.
