Maps of South Africa

South Africa may only cover the tip of the African continent, but it is quite sizable in its own right. The coastline alone spans over 2 500 km! The country has been divided into nine main provinces which are each run by a local municipality but the whole country is directly governed by the South African government. The Kingdom of Lesotho is an independently governed country situated in the midst of South Africa.

Geographically speaking, South Africa is an incredibly beautiful country. It boasts a varied climate - one that is mostly warm in summer and cool in winter. High mountains and sunny beaches and well as cold and warm seas are just some of the amazing things to experience here. Semi-arid plateaus, heavily forested areas and great watery regions are all just part of the South African experience. The diversity makes for interesting variety when sight-seeing in the country. The country also boasts seven major biomes which adds to plant and animal diversity and is very rare in such a concentrated area. On top of this, the majority of the country is a malaria-free zone which means that you will be able to enjoy the wonders of nature without the concerns of being infected by strange diseases. The following map will help you to better visualize how South Africa is organized and divided into its various regions.
