Countries Visited: South Africa, Swaziland

Game tracking, hiking in the Drakensberg, and a safari in Kruger N.P.

The Sentinal, Drakensberg Mountains.

This walking safari reveals the immense variety on offer in South Africa, with a good balance of game tracking in reserves, walking in the mountains and game drives in national parks.

There are several days hiking in the remarkable Drakensberg Mountains, the hilly country of the Kingdom of Swaziland and the less-visited areas of Mpumalanga and Limpopo. Perhaps the highlight of the trip is taking guided game walks in private reserves: we learn how to track wildlife, observe at close hand the huge variety of bird and plant life and, of course, experience the thrill of a close encounter with animals on an equal footing.

There are also several game drives in the famous Kruger National Park and Mkhuze Reserve, a sanctuary for the endangered Black Rhino.
