Comfort Level

Graded ‘easy’ with some ‘moderate’ but optional walks. Anyone with good health and a sense of adventure should be able to take part.

Dining Out

Trip price includes: 12 breakfasts, 11 lunches & 10 dinners. Included meals are prepared by the Group Leader in a communal kitchen or around a campfire. The ‘braai‘ (short for braaivleis) is an Afrikaans word literally translated as ‘meat grill’. It is basically a barbecue, and at any national park or resort you’ll never be too far away from a braai stand. A variant on the braai is a ‘potjiekos’ (pot food), in which the food is cooked outdoors in a three-legged cast iron cauldron over an open fire.

Responsible Travel

We support a project in this area to take disadvantaged local children to game parks so that they can experience a safari for themselves and learn about the conservation issues of their country. Our local agent, Sunway Safaris works on this project in conjunction with the SOS children’s home in Ennerdale Johannesburg. The children spend a weekend in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve giving them a chance to see some of the wildlife indigenous to South Africa. It also introduces the children to conservation issues and hopefully will encourage some of them to go on and study conservation and the natural world in the future.

Special Inclusions

This is the quintessential South African adventure. Carefully designed to provide a comfortable and exciting journey to take in one of the greatest wildlife areas in Africa and explore its historic Zulu battlefields.
