Discover Nature in South Africa with Live Webcams

Why South Africa is a Paradise for Nature Lovers

South Africa boasts extraordinary ecological diversity. The country is home to about 10% of the world’s plant species, and features nine distinct biomes, ranging from savannah and fynbos to forest, karoo and coastal ecosystems — a richness rare for any country.

From snow-dusted mountains to sweeping deserts, lush wetlands to rugged coastlines, South Africa offers a dramatic mix: from the unique flora of the Table Mountain National Park and Cape Floristic Region to the expansive grasslands and wildlife-rich savannahs of its national parks.

Explore Diverse Landscapes — From Coast to Canyon

Whether you’re after coastal beauty, mountains, wetlands or desert flora, South Africa has it all. On the coast you’ll find rugged cliffs, sandy beaches and marine life where two oceans meet; inland, there are dramatic canyons, sweeping savannahs, wetlands and unique desert ecosystems.

Wildlife and biodiversity are just as varied — expect endemic plants, birds, mammals, and ecosystems that support both terrestrial and marine life. With live webcams and nature guides, you can explore these regions before visiting and plan the perfect nature trip, whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation or wildlife encounters.
