 South Africa is a country that always creates an impression. We know of its diverse population, the troubled history of apartheid and its rebirth as a global travel destination. I've been a fan of this country for many years. But this is my chance to go beyond the obvious South Africa to explore on foot and take time to see how life and astounding 1 landscape work today in the new South Africa, a country that's now keen to invite the world.


-Hello, and welcome to one the most famous wildlife reserves in the world, the Kruger national park. Few tours South Africa complete without a visit to this massive expanse of wild Africa. It is without doubt one of the best places on the planet to come across flora 2, but I'm here to do something a little bit different. Out there, man has always struggled. It's full of uncertainty 3, danger and some very big animals. I'm here to explore that remarkable 4 relationship between man and this land and I'm gonna doing it on foot.
 
There may be a lot of dangerous animals out there, but trust me, it is possible to come here and go for a walk. The Kruger is the country's number one game park, home to lion, leopard 5, elephant, buffalo 6 and rhino 7, the famous Big Five of Africa. It's difficult to believe that a million humans come here every year. They largely disappear in the vast area the size of Wales, a precious reserve when Africa runs free.
