South Africa for Kids: South Africa Geography
South Africa is the southernmost country on the African continent. South Africa encloses two landlocked African countries which are eSwatini (formerly called Swaziland) and Lesotho. Both countries are ruled by kings and the people there are very poor.
South Africa also shares borders with Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe in the North, and Mozambique in the East.
It takes a 12-hour flight from London/England, 12-hour flight from Singapore and it takes more than 17 hours from New York/USA to get to South Africa.
In South Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet off the Southern Cape coast. In the image to the right, you see Cape Point, the southernmost point of the Cape Peninsula. The southernmost point in South Africa is, however, Cape Agulhas which is roughly 120km (75miles) east of Cape Town.
South Africa for Kids: Geography
South Africa has various mountain ranges and the grasslands. In the interior of the country, you will find a high plateau.
The Kalahari Desert in the north is part of the 'highveld', the highlands of the country. Johannesburg also lies on this plateau at 1,700m (5,577ft) above sea level, but most of the bigger cities such as Cape Town, Durban or Port Elizabeth, are located near the coast in low-lying areas.
The longest river in South Africa is the Orange River which forms also part of the border between Namibia from South Africa.
In the mountain ranges of the Drakensberg region, especially in the Lesotho mountains, there is snow in winter and you even could go skiing in South Africa. Tiffindell is the most popular winter resort town. Sometimes also the higher mountain tops in the Western Cape near Cape Town receive some snow in winter. Although the snow might be enough for a snowball fight, it certainly is not enough to go skiing.

Kruger National Park for safaris and great wildlife viewing
Sun City near Pretoria for fun and games galore with amazing wave pool and lots of things to do for the whole family

South Africa is home to the African Penguins and the Great White Sharks live in the ocean waters here too. Sometimes beaches are closed for bathing due to the sharks in the bays. Many beaches have shark nets. Remember to only swim in the sea where there are lifeguards on duty.
Whale watching is very popular in South Africa too and you will encounter an enormous sea life in South Africa when you go on a boat trip.
South Africa for Kids: South Africa People
South Africa is often called the 'Rainbow Nation', because there are so many different languages are spoken and different cultural traditions are lived. Below you see people of the Ndebele tribe.

South Africa is often called 'The Cradle of Humankind', because archaeological artefacts, tools and human remains proof that people lived in the area more than 100,000 years ago. The ancient San and the Khoi were the early African civilizations settling the Cape. There are only few descendants of the local San people living in remote areas in the Karoo desert and near the Cape West Coast.

The biggest South African population group, the Zulu, mainly live in rural settlements in KwaZulu-Natal, they even have a king. The South African president, Jacob Zuma, actually belongs to the Zulu leaders. Portuguese, Dutch, British, French and German explorers have traveled and populated southern Africa in the 17th and 18th century and therefore you can find many European influences in South Africa too.
Nowadays most of the people in South Africa live in or near the big cities: Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town. The rural areas are still very poor and also in the cities many people live in shantytowns or townships.
Did you know that in South Africa, cars drive on the left side of the road as they do in the UK and Australia? However, all distance and speed signs are in metres and kilometres and km/hour and not as in England in yards and miles and miles/hour!
