Few countries on earth can compete with the grandness of the South African landscape – range after range of mountains call the traveler through sunburned deserts to explore deep forests, fruit-filled valleys and idyllic coastal hideaways where lazy rivers spill into blue lagoons. Though South Africa is ranked the third most biologically diverse country in the world, access to its diversity is far greater than in the richest equatorial jungles. Therefore, those seeking variety of life will probably find South Africa the most rewarding destination on earth.

South Africa’s economy is stronger than ever before, it has achieved a reasonable level of stability; this situation creates opportunities for real increase in investment. Its advance development is localized in cities like Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Pretoria/Johannesburg. The whole area is the financial, economic and industrial capital of Africa. Its main exploitation is mining, being the most important gold, platinum and diamonds. However, tourism is becoming a booming sector; among the main attractions are the national parks and its nature, the picturesque culture and the highly regarded wines.
