Living in South Africa
When you think of South Africa, you think of wild animals roaming freely in their natural habitat, you think of the vast natural beauty on offer, and then you are reminded of its deeply troubled past. But it's these factors, plus a thousand more that attract millions of visitors each year.
Things to do
The nation invites you to bask in its glorious beaches, explore its remarkable, diverse landscapes and savour some of its spectacular cuisines. With vibrant multicultural cities like Johannesburg to get lost in and breathtaking towns like Prince Albert to retreat to, there is no shortage of places to call home.
Places to eat
Many view South African cuisine with a sense of trepidation, mostly because they are anxious about the unfamiliarity of the dishes on offer. But in reality, the cuisine is as diverse as its people. In this sense, the nation caters for all manner of tastes with its exciting assortment of food.
Shopping
South Africa has been hailed as a shopper's paradise. With numerous shopping centres like Canal Walk in Cape Town and Highland Mews in Mpumalanga, the most seasoned and curious of shoppers can traipse through its grounds in search of the latest wardrobe essentials as well as enjoy the entertainment and food on offer.
Getting around
The public transportation system in South Africa is remarkable and although the lengthy distances can seem discouraging, the well organised and maintained networks offer a seamless travel experience.
