Post em Daniëlskuil, Northern Cape, Republic of South Africa

hello! I really want to go to South Africa, but safety and cost are my concerns... I would go by myself around October/November. How much would you say is the daily budget, are there safe public transport options between cities and are there any budget options to visit national parks, ex. Kruger? Guided tours I've found on Internet were very expensive, do you think it's possible to gather a few people and rent a car together once in place? Or buy from a local tour operator? Thank you in advance for your help!
