Situated on the tip of the African Continent, South Africa is exceptionally diverse for a country of its size. South Africa has been portrayed as the world in one country and contains within its borders scenic attractions from the dramatic, arid landscapes of the northwest to the forest-fringed coastline of the Garden Route; from the flat, dry Karoo interior to the craggy Drakensberg Mountains in the east; from the manicured vineyards of the Cape, to the flower fields of Namaqualand and the wilds of the Kruger National Park.
