In South Africa alone, four climates are present: the Mediterranean, continental, subtropical and tropical and semi-desert climate, which preserves a very dense and diversified fauna. Its relief also plays a great deal with its mountains and coastal plains which become a considerable attraction to accommodate all animal and plant species. As for its terrestrial fauna, there are altogether nearly 150 mammals, more than 800 bird species and 370 species of reptiles including about 100 snakes. On the sea side, South Africa is one of the main destinations to admire marine mammals: white sharks, tortures, dolphins or some species of whales including blue whales and southern whales.
