As a tourist to South Africa, you will discover that our country is a land of surprising contrasts. It offers you a vast spectrum of activities and experiences, world-class accommodation and services, and the certainty of knowing that no matter where you journey, the people of South Africa will welcome you. South Africa comprises four main geographical regions: The coastal fringe that stretches from Alexander Bay on the west coast to Kosi Bay on the east coast and varies from arid desert to subtropical forests; the mountain ranges of the Great Escarpment; the sprawling semi-circular inland plateau (highveld); and the sub-tropical lowveld on the north-eastern side of the country. A country for all seasons Situated south of the equator, South Africa's seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere. Due to its position between the cold Benguela current that flows off the Atlantic Ocean and warm Agulhas current that flows off the Indian Ocean, South Africa's climate varies from hot in summer to moderate in winter, particularly during the day. Most regions have summer rainfall except the Cape which has winter rainfall. One climatic phenomenon occurs frequently during the highveld's blistering hot summers. Rumbles of thunder that bellow across the countryside as if announcing the arrival of bolts of luminous lightning, almost disco-esque in their voltage, and a downfall of torrential rain.
