The geography of South Africa
This map of South Africa hardly does justice in showing the great geographical contrasts that exist in what is often described as a "World in One Country".
Those wanting to do a self-drive holiday should consider taking the N2 highway from Cape Town along the world-famous Garden Route, through beautiful holiday towns like Knysna, all the way up to the city of Port Elizabeth.
Further up the east coast of this map of South Africa, sits the sunny city of Durban. Durban's golden beaches and warm sea have long been a favourite holiday escape for the landlocked residents of Pretoria and Johannesburg. The north-east region also has the best parks and reserves for a South Africa safari.
You can use this map to help plan your South Africa holiday. Click on any of the cities, or places of interest such as the Kruger National Park, Cape Winelands or the Drakensberg mountains, to navigate to more detailed content, maps and accommodation listings in our travel guide.
