About South Africa...

The Republic of South Africa, is a country located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa. The South African coast stretches 2,798 kilometres and borders both the Atlantic and Indian oceans. 

To the north of South Africa's borders are Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe and to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland, while the Kingdom of Lesotho is an independent enclave surrounded by South African territory.

South Africa is known for its diversity in cultures, languages, and religious beliefs. Eleven official languages are recognised in the constitution.

English is the most commonly spoken language in official and commercial public life; however, it is only the fifth most-spoken home language. 

South Africa is ethnically diverse, with the largest Caucasian, Indian, and racially mixed communities in Africa.

In 1994 South Africa held its first democratic election. Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) came to power, and the country rejoined the Commonwealth of Nations.

For many visitors to South Africa, there is no finer way to see the country than on the popular 25-hour weekly journeys between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Cape Town offers a blend of cosmopolitan city life, magnificent mountains and superlative wine lands, while Johannesburg forms the economic heartland of South Africa and the ideal departure point.

This 1600-kilometre journey is a perfect illustration of South Africa as a world in one country.

Travel the windswept grasslands of the gold rich Highveld to the haunting barrenness of the Great Karoo, the spectacular mountain ranges and scenic wine lands of the Cape to the Mother City of South Africa, Cape Town, cradled by the imposing bulk of Table Mountain, Devils’ Peak and Lions Head.
