What else is there?

The Republic of South Africa, is located on the southern tip of the African continent. It is neighboured by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique to the north and Swaziland in the east. South Africa wholly encompasses the mountain kingdom of Lesotho.

The country is a juxtaposition of natural beauty that includes vast open plains, rolling hills, mountains, lakes, coastline and bustling, sophisticated cities. There are two trans-frontier parks, the internationally renowned Kruger National Park and four natural UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Ukhahlamba/Drakensburg Mountains are a combination of cultural and natural heritage because of the high volumes of Rock Art left by the San who lived in the area for 4000 years.

Despite the diversity of culture and numerous languages, the nation is fanatical about sport, most notably rugby, cricket, golf, swimming, athletics, and, of course, football. Football is sometimes called soccer and colloquially referred to as 'diski'.
