‘A world within one country’ is the slogan for South Africa. Known as the ‘Rainbow Nation’ because of its kaleidoscope of people, races and creeds, this remarkable country really does have a bit of everything. Not surprisingly, South Africa is the third most popular tourist destination and an increasing number of British buyers are discovering its many unspoilt treasures.

Every region has its own unique flavour. The vivacious cosmopolitan cities of Johannesburg and Cape Town contrast with the ravishing beauty and serenity of its soaring rugged mountains, dramatic waterfalls, National Parks and deserted, tropical white sand beaches. From safaris to golf, whale watching to surfing, bungee jumping to historical battlefields, Table Mountain to the Garden Route, vast wine estates to desert plains. South Africa is a colourful ‘must go and see’ place that makes everywhere else pale by comparison.
