Located at the southernmost tip of Africa, South Africa is, without a doubt, one of the finest destinations on the African continent. This rainbow nation boasts 8 UNESCO world heritage sites, both natural and cultural, and encompasses several extraordinary biomes, ranging from protected wetlands, grassland and thornveld savannas, mountains, tropical and coastal forests, to harsh, yet scenically splendid, Karoo and Kalahari “deserts”. And let’s not forget the gorgeous fynbos, renowned for its spectacular proteas and, even more importantly, over 9,000 plant species, +- 6,000 of which are endemic to this beautiful country.
