Tourism is travel for pleasure or business. Tourism remains a key driver of South Africa’s national economy. The tourism industry is a major contributor to the South African economy and employment of citizens. Tourism contributes about 9% to the country’s gross domestic product.

We have a population of beautiful, warm and friendly people. We have 11 official languages- Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, Sepedi (officially Sesotho sa Leboa), Sesotho, siSwati, Setswana, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, isiXhosa and isiZulu. South Africa offers multiple tourist experiences within close proximity to one another.

Experience an untouched world of perfect hushed silence and raw wildlife moments; free the adventurous spirit within; meet the Rainbow Nation in buzzing cities; take a journey of discovery from the roots of all humanity; free your imagination, and let the waves lift your soul or just see where breathtaking nature stretches out in every direction. We have it all!
