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.

The Wild Coast or the Transkei is absolutely splendid, it is one of my favourite regions in South Africa. The atmosphere is very "unaffected", the Xhosa villages very picturesque and the landscape grandiose. Standing on the rolling hills overlooking the coast are the villages, called "kraals", made up of the traditional huts of this region, all of them coloured and with a thatched roof. The region is criss-crossed by rivers that throw themselves into the ocean. You often see dolphins here. 
 The most touristic villages are situated at the mouth of these rivers, near the beach. You can surf, swim and horse ride along the deserted beaches, it is very poetic here. It is also possible to go on lovely hikes in the headlands to enjoy the scenery from the cliffs. Depending on the village, the hotel infrastructure is more or less "roots", if not hippy. 
 For added comfort, choose the less remote villages. The roads have been recently repaired making them easier of access. The panoramic road from Port Alfred to Port Saint John's is incredible. I really like the Wild Coast for its distinctive atmosphere, where few tourists take the trouble to venture.
