Description

South Africa, with its capital Pretoria, is one of only 17 countries worldwide considered Mega-diverse. Climate zones from extreme desert to subtropical regions provide a vast quantity of plants and animal species native to the country as well as a diversity of nationality, culture and skin colour of its population, which has been given the nickname Rainbow Nation. South Africa has an estimated population of 47,900,000 inhabitants and has eleven recognised languages in its constitution.

* Beauty
The country's scenic beauty e.g. in the Kruger National Park and the Mala Mala Reserve, together with the cultural multiplicity in lifestyle, music and cuisine invites you to explore something new every day. The cuisine is largely meat-based and the braai (barbecue) is a very popular and typical custom.

* Development
South Africa has evolved from a development country to a first world country, with an economy based on trade of raw materials, manufacturing and agriculture (especially wine), though this mainly takes place in the largest cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town, while there are still regions whose economy is not yet well-developed. However, these are the areas where one can experience traditional lifestyle with dance and music.
