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 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 walk is the most beautiful and the longest from Coffee Bay. I truly loved the views of the cliffs on the completely wild coastline, and I even saw some dolphins swimming offshore! You pass through typical Xhosa villages, you can chat to locals from which you can also buy fish and crayfish, which you must cook yourself on your return. It's a really beautiful walk. The rock in question is impressive and there is an echo. The Xhosas call it "Izi Khaleni", "the place of thunder". 
A local legend about the Hole in the wall tells of a man of the sea people who saw a pretty girl sitting on a rock one day, admiring the sea. She was so beautiful that he fell desperately in love with her. The girl returned to her village, on the other side of the rock at the edge of a lagoon, to share with her father that she has met a man from the sea. But he forbade her from going out. Nevertheless, the young girl succeeded in escaping one night to find her beloved. He sent a giant fish to make a hole in the rock to allow access to the lagoon. The sea people arrived singing to the lagoon, the girl's lover was at the front. So he came to get his beloved and they went into the sea.
