Useful information
- South Africa has three capitals: Pretoria is the administrative capital of the country; Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, while Cape Town is the legislative capital. However, the most populous city is Johannesburg.
- South African Rand (ZAR).
- There are 11 official languages. The most widely spoken are English (a lingua franca, very common in all the main locations except for the most remote rural areas), Afrikaans, Zulu, and Xhosa.
- The majority of the population is Christian, predominantly Protestant with a minority of Catholics. Almost a third practice traditional and animist rituals. There are also significant Hindu and Muslim communities.
- An electronic passport is essential. It must have a remaining validity of at least 30 days beyond the planned departure date from the country, with at least 2 blank pages in the 'Visas' section. Hand-renewed passports are not accepted.
- Mites, especially in the coastal areas, except in the northern part of the eastern coast which has tropical characteristics. The inland areas enjoy a significantly drier climate. The summer, which runs from October to April, is generally warm, cooler in the evening hours. The winter (June - August) is dry and sunny.
- March, April, and May, due to the mildness of the climate, but especially for the lower frequency of rain. For Cape Town, the best period is from November to May: the climate is identical to our summer. However, consider that due to the different latitude, the sun's rays are much more direct and it's easy to get sunburned.
