EXPERIENCES / INTERNATIONAL
South Africa
Overview
This page is a work in progress.
Some of the things we want to include are listed below.
- The Harkerville Trail. Spectacular coastal scenery on an overnight hike.
- The Arangieskop Trail. A steep climb to one of the most scenic huts in the country.
- Kruger. One guided hiking trail and a night in Russell's favourite small camp.
- Even on the overnight walks, we will have beds and shelters.
- Amazing wildlife.
- A wonderful variety of landscapes: pools, gorges, spectacular cliff top views and more.
Although we've been running trips to southern Africa for 25 years, there is still no one else who offers trips like ours.
This page is a work in progress.
More details to foloow.

African wildlife at its best. Big game in Kruger and some other places. Small animals and birds everywhere.

A mix of weather can be expected.
COOKING
Where we cook on overnight walks, your guide will do the meals. When we stay somewhere with a kitchen, you are welcome to assist. Where we eat in restaurants, you need to be prepared to pay for your own meals.
WALK RATING - EASY TO MODERATE
Terrain
Almost everything from flat and easy to sand dunes to steep climbs.
Huge variety, al;most anything you can think of.
Distance
4-6 hours per day of walking on the longest days.
Pack Weight
Overnight packs, but tents will not be needed.
Driving
We will hire two 4WD vehicles, probably twin cab utes. Most of the driving will be on gravel roads but there will be some long sections of bitumen and some shorter sections of rough 4WD tracks. We expect the total distance to be something like 3000 km.
