Visiting South Africa

Afrikaans is spoken by about 23 million people worldwide and is the national language of South Africa. Every country in the world displays some diversity, but South Africa, stretching from the hippos in the Limpopo River to the penguins waddling on the Cape, takes some beating. It befits its position at the southern end of the world’s most epic continent, with more types of terrain than photographers can shake their zoom lens at. There’s the deserted Kalahari, Namakwa’s springtime symphony of wildflowers, iconic Table Mountain and Cape Point, Kruger National Park’s wildlife-stocked savanna and, running through the east of the country and into Lesotho, the Drakensberg. KwaZulu-Natal’s iSimangaliso Wetland Park alone has five distinct ecosystems, attracting both zebras and dolphins.


Afrikaans-speaking Countries

Afrikaans is also widely spoken in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

Here are some of the basic Afrikaans phrases that you might use:

  • Word gou gesond! (Get well soon!)
  • Skryf dit neer asseblief. (Please write it down.)
  • Lekker dag! (Have a nice day!)
