South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is a country on the southernmost tip of the African continent, marked by several distinct ecosystems.

Inland safari destination Kruger National Park is populated by big game. The Western Cape offers beaches, lush winelands around Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl, craggy cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope, forest and lagoons along the Garden Route, and the city of Cape Town, beneath flat-topped Table Mountain.

South Africa is the largest country in Southern Africa with over 57 million people. About 80 percent of South Africans are of Sub-Saharan African ancestry, divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different African languages, nine of which have official status. The remaining population consists of Africa's largest communities of European (White), Asian (Indian) and multiracial (Coloured) ancestry.

Neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe are to the north and to the north east is Mozambique.
