Everyone knows that South Africa is the Cradle of Humankind and the home of Nelson Mandela. But did you know that:
• There are more plant species on Table Mountain than on the British Isles or in New Zealand?
• The first motion picture footage ever recorded was shot in South Africa?
• Cape Town is the only place on earth where you can see one World Heritage Site from another?

The South African Fact Book is packed with interesting information about South Africa’s past and present – its famous people and places, its government and economy, its flora and fauna, and much more. You’ll find details of our World Heritage Sites and UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, the best (and worst) small towns to explore, South African cuisine, and even the best political scandals to soil our, well, soil.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in this fascinating country.
