Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, South Africa is a mosaic of hilly landscapes and stunning countryside. The mix of the different cultures of the Cape and Johannesburg makes these cities choice destinations for gourmets eager to taste Afrikaner cuisine. South Africa is the country of diversity. You will visit Robben Island, the island upon which Nelson Mandela was shut away for 18 years during Apartheid, and at the same time you will discover a country deeply marked by its history. You will stroll over the dunes of Arniston, will be amazed by the ostrich farms on the mountainous tracks of little Karoo and will end your excursion in the crystal clear waters of the rapids of the Tsitsikamma national park. The country also has a reputation for the quality of its wine. A walk in the bucolic region of Boland will enable you to sample the country's best wines directly at the producers. Finally, what would a trip to South Africa be without a safari to the heart of the most beautiful of wild animal reserves? You are bound to be charmed by the elephants, rhinos and tigers that populate the Kruger region.

It's impossible to even consider organising a <a href="/south-africa/">trip to South Africa</a> without including Kruger National Park on the itinerary.
There are large numbers of animals at Kruger and you'll have a golden opportunity to see the Big Five there. The park also offers different kinds of landscapes across its extent, from its south to its north, and through its central part. Due to Its immense size it feels calm and peaceful, despite the large numbers of visitors. Though it's normally very expensive to stay at accommodation inside the park, this cost can be reduced by booking a place at one of the camp sites well in advance.
In addition to the classic safari in a specially equipped vehicle, I also recommend going on one of the walks accompanied by a ranger. It's a once in a lifetime experience.

I've visited the Kruger Park twice. And didn't at any time get bored of it! The first time, I went to the Limpopo River and woody areas at the north of the park. I saw a lot of elephants and deer, including the amazing kudu , along with the more common warthogs, zebra etc. I wanted to camp, so each evening we bedded down in established campsites.

The Kruger National Park is a South African game reserve. Its entire 20,000 km² is protected and monitored by game wardens. Thanks to this, it's home to an amazing variety of African wildlife.
