Hiking in South Africa

South Africa is known as "the World in One Country" and one of the best ways to explore it is on foot! Start in Cape Town and climb the iconic Table Mountain. Move on to De Hoop Nature Reserve to hike a portion of the Whale Trail, and spot some whales (if travelling between June and November) while walking amongst zebra, antelope, ostriches and the unique Fynbos Biome vegetation. Move to KwaZulu-Natal where you can explore other ecosystems. Find yourself walking on deserted subtropical beaches bordered by coastal forest on the one side and the warm Indian Ocean on the other. Stroll along an estuary full of hippo and crocodile and birdlife, before moving on to a genuine overnight 'Wilderness Trail' in the African savanna of Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park. For three days you'll walk with an armed ranger through Big Five Country, with the possibility to encounter, lions and elephants. Close the tour off with four days in the last of South Africa's amazing ecosystems: the mighty Drakensberg Mountains! This tour, like all others on the TravelLocal platform, is fully customisable so it is possible to add or remove activities and tailor the itinerary to meet your interests.
