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.

This private reserve is exceptional due to its great vastness and its exclusivity for a happy few. The animals are not disturbed by tourist vehicles; only the lodge's rangers and their pick-ups are allowed to move around. 
I really enjoyed my stay at this reserve. Regardless of your chosen lodge, you are pampered by the staff, both in terms of the standard of accommodation (the luxurious afro-chic bungalows are unique, comfort is key), and the swimming pools or the view of the watering holes below the main lodge. In the evening, we dined around the boma, the camp fire, on gourmet game dishes (the kudu is excellent).
The game drives were also excellent. I saw the 'Big 5', the leopard being the most difficult to spot, because the rangers communicate by radio and are quick to react. Of course, they have vast experience of the bush and animal know-how to share.
