120 kms long, the Naukluft Trail takes eight days to complete and
invites you to experience one of the oldest deserts in the world. Open from March to October due to climatic conditions, groups must be minimum of three and maximum of 12
people.
Camping facilities and water are available at stop-over points but all food and equipment must be carried. |
The Tsitsikamma Hiking Trail is a must for any serious hiker. Traversing through some of South Africa's most beautiful coastal scenery, the Cape Fynbos when in bloom tops it all. There are 2, 3, 4 and 5 day options available for the trail with luggage transportation if required. The hike starts at Nature's Valley and ends at the Storms River Mouth. |
The highest mountain in South Africa, the summit of the Mafadi is shared with Lesotho in the Central Region of the Drakensberg.
This trail requires high fitness levels with water properly planned, since several parts of the route follow ridges. The high altitude (2500m-3500m)
should be taken into consideration when coming from sea level.

The far eastern corner of Botswana, historically known as the Tuli Block, is a vast expanse of wilderness punctured by huge peculiar-looking Baobab trees. Lying adjacent to Mashatu, a refuge for the largest Elephant population on privately-owned land, visitors are afforded the opportunity to go on guided foot safaris.
The winter months (April - August) are the best time to visit Botswana.

Usambara and Pare Mountains |

It is the Zambezi River to the south and the undulating range of hills forming the Zambezi escarpment to the north that give this National Park its incredible diversity of fauna and flora. Professional guides and scouts are used to locate and explain the many fascinating trails available in the area and one is well rewarded with beautiful plains, natural pools and cascading waterfalls.
|
Zomba is a spectacular table-top mountain and it is the southern section of this mountain that draws the visitors. Zomba plateau has a slight depression in the middle and is covered in forest - this is one of Malawi’s Forest Reserves - and the slopes are adorned with an abundance of wild flowers. Hiking trails are easily accessible, suiting a wide range of energy levels. |
Both the Usambara and Pare Mountains are superb for hiking and birdwatching. The Southern Pare Mountains take you along narrow foot paths that connect the mountains with african villages and give one a glimpse into the traditional way of life.
The Usambaras are approximately 110 kilometres long and can be
as demanding or relaxing as you wish. |
