Country Facts

South Africa is a country of nature’s riches and people’s resilience, crafted with sunny coasts and green pavilions. This land of stark beauty, where the divine and dreams intertwine, is the place where visitors can revisit the beauty that cradled the earliest civilizations.

With roaring lions, mischievous monkeys, and lanky giraffes strolling through savannahs, Table Mountain offering panoramic views of the country, species of plants that seem otherworldly, and jackass penguins waddling along its coasts, South Africa is a land that captures and cares for nature like no other! It also preserves reminders of its struggle and resilience on Robben Island, a monumental reminder of its poignant history.

South Africans love seafood with a passion. As a melange of meats, vegetables, and fruits with a lavish use of spices, South African cuisine is lip-smacking and heartwarming. With local artisans creating colourful beaded jewellery, textiles, and leather crafts, souvenirs are beautiful and meaningful.
