The Kruger, in search of the Big 5

Located at about&nbsp;six hours from Johannesburg by road (it's also possible to get there by plane), Kruger is THE national park to visit in South Africa.

Africa

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.

Wilderness is nice little seaside resort which doesn't receive too many visitors and has a wild nature reserve (hence the name) close by, ideal for doing walks. It's the nicest village after Mossel Bay and George and frankly it's best to stop here rather than in any of the big cities beforehand when coming from Cape Town. 
I appreciated the village feel of the central street with its few restaurants, but it's a shame that the main national highway cuts the place in two. However, there wasn't really any other choice as the mountain prevents the road from going around it. On the other side the village is built around a pretty lagoon.
The villas by the sea are really beautiful, luxurious, with an amazing view out over the horizon. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, and the main beach is supervised. However the other beaches are dangerous due to very strong currents. There's a farm high up which offers alternative accommodation and a beautiful view over the bay and its surroundings.
