South Africa is located at the southern tip of the African continent, bordered by its northern neighbors Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. It encompasses the independent mountain kingdoms of Lesotho and Swaziland and is flanked by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the warm Indian Ocean to the east, giving the country its spectacular array of biodiversity.
South Africa enjoys a mild and pleasant climate, with beautiful warm sunny days most of the year. The seasons in the southern hemisphere are opposite to those in the northern hemisphere, so our summer runs from November to February, when most of the country is characterized by hot weather with afternoon storms. Winters are generally mild and dry. South Africa enjoys one of the highest daily hours of sunshine in the world: 8.5 compared to 3.8 in London, 6.4 in Rome and 6.9 in New York.
South Africa is home to some 43 million people, a colorful population as diverse in composition as the country’s geography is varied.
