 Wilderness National Park boardwalk

Wilderness, South Africa, home of former South African president P.W. Botha, is located sixteen kilometers east of George on the N2, which stretches almost all the way along South Africa's coast from Cape Town to Ermelo. Wilderness is in Western Cape on the Garden Route, and is home to a beautiful beach and the Wilderness National Park. Be aware that, if arriving here by coach, the coaches stop at a petrol station a few kilometers east of town with a fair walk back.

Wilderness is located at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, which have numerous lookout points to observe whales and dolphins in the Indian Ocean. There are two estuaries here. The rivers Touw and Kaaimans both flow into the ocean via Wilderness Beach.

Accommodation is plentiful here as it is as much a destination for domestic tourists as international. Budget travelers are well catered for here, as there are a number of Wilderness, South Africa hostels offering dorm beds and camping space.
