Walking Holidays in South Africa

South Africa Walking Trips

Some views are instantly recognisable. And Table Mountain, towering over Cape Town, is one such sight. The flat-topped mountain has a whole ecosystem to itself, with more endemic species of plants than the whole of the United Kingdom. Heading east, the rugged peaks and high plateaus of the Drakensberg (meaning Dragon’s Mountain) await, forming the backdrop for some of the country’s best hiking.

But South Africa also offers forests, savannah and even arid lands, all ideal for exploring on walking tours. And going out on foot looking for game, including big cats, is certainly a memorable experience.
