With the recent World Cup putting South Africa firmly in the spotlight, all eyes remain on this stunning and diverse country.
The Republic of South Africa is located at the southern tip of Africa, with some 2,798 kilometres of coastline on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Often referred to as the adventure capital of the world with activities from safari to shark diving, South Africa’s natural beauty, rich culture and friendly people put it in a league of its own.
Cape Town is the capital of the Western Cape province and the parliamentary capital of the republic, with historic buildings and booming businesses. Coupled with beautiful surrounding beaches, sunny vineyards and the rugged wilderness of Table Mountain, it’s easy to see why people want to live here.
