Previous years have seen great changes in the availability of worldwide travel which coupled with the relatively new political situation in the country has resulted in a steady increase in people taking holidays in South Africa. The country regularly hosts major international sporting events which includes the prestigious 2010 FIFA World Cup Football. The first World Cup Soccer tournament ever to be held on the African continent.
South Africa is a land of very diverse cultures and landscapes. From the "english cape" to the "african bush" and "semi desert" in the north all displaying their own magnificence. There are holidays in South Africa to satisfy almost any preference. The west coast of South Africa faces the cold Atlantic sea waters which tends to keep the western coastal areas rather cooler than just a few kilometers inland. The cooling Cape winds blowing in off the Atlantic tend to keep the temperatures cooler around the peninsula and are often referred to as "the Cape Doctor". During the winter months the ocean winds can bring some heavy rainstorms to the Cape. The eastern coastline faces the warm Indian ocean with the result that the further one travels up the coast the regions become progressively more tropical.
