With its abundance of wildlife and pristine natural beauty, South Africa is a popular tourist destination and receives many German visitors each year.

However, the country also has a myriad of challenges, among them, soaring rates of violent crime. It is widely regarded as having the highest levels of unemployment in the world and is also the country with the highest level of wealth inequality.
