South Africa is a country bordering the Indian Ocean to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Neighbouring countries include Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique and Swaziland.

In South Africa the climate can be extremely dry and hot, like in the Kalahari desert, but also very humid, like in the subtropical forests near Mozambique. On the coast, however, there is a strong maritime climate and on the higher mountains there is also snow in winter.

Particularly in the national parks you can visit the indescribably varied flora and fauna of the country. The Kruger National Park is home to three hundred mammal species, around one hundred reptile species and more than five hundred bird species.
