Thanks to the beautiful,
and sometimes rugged, scenery and a great climate, South Africa is
a great destination for hiking and walking. There are many
trails lasting from just a few hours to several days.
The contrasts are vast: from the mountains of the Drakensberg to dozens
of coastal walks, and all the national parks and reserves in between.
Each trail has its own attractions, offering panoramic views, wonderful
wildlife, birdlife and plant life as well as fascinating geographical
contrasts. Trails are operated by forestry or nature conservation
bodies, various parks boards, municipalities and many private land
owners. New trails are opening up more and more of some of the most unforgettable
countryside in the world.
The majority of the safari camps in the national parks and private
game reserves offer game walks with a ranger. There is no better
way to experience wild places than to put your boots on and your
feet on the ground, one in front of the other.
