Into Wilderness with a local

Wilderness National Park

Janine showed us how to braai, Matthew took us hiking next morning: into Wilderness with a local! Like a little mountain lion he lead the way through the beautiful forest, helped us over the river by boat and showed us a wonderful waterfall.

Matthew & Janine

It was wonderful to have a local guide like this. He grew up in George right at the foot of a mountain that is part of the National Park. He admitted, that living here, he sometimes forgets how privileged he is to have beauty like that right on his doorstep. Showing foreigners around makes him appreciate it a lot.
Janine used to live in Jo'berg and moved down here a while ago. Matthew wanted to show her the waterfalls for quite a while, but they never went there. So it was perfect to seize the opportunity like this! We had the most personal guide and Janine came to see the waterfalls at last!


It was beautiful up there. In rainier times all the stone is part of the waterfall. Because of the water shortage there was only a little water running. It was crystal clear and very wonderful to look at!
