South Africa

 Graceful - Joyful - Proud - Golden

South Africa occupies the southern tip of Africa with its 3000km-long coastline which stretches from the desert border with Namibia on the Atlantic coast to the border of subtropical Mozambique on the Indian Ocean.

The country has more than 290 conservation parks and is home to almost 300 mammal species, around 860 bird, and 8 000 plant species.
Eight world heritage sites exist within it's borders. The country is divided into eight biomes, namely grassland, savanna, succulent karoo, nama karoo, forest, fynbos, desert and thicket. Couple this with stunning beaches, breathtaking mountain ranges, colourful architecture, vibrant cities and diverse culture, one is spoilt for choice when visiting this beautiful country.
 
"South Africa gives me a perspective of what’s real and what’s not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself. Every time I go back, it doesn’t take long for me to get caught into a very different thing. A very different sense of myself."

- Dave Matthews
