With perfect hikes, superb safari adventures,

is the ultimate way to experience South

Africa. Our hikes bring us along the

spectacular coastal Garden Route and into

the breathtaking Drakensberg of Zulu

country. For our safari, we enjoy one of the

most exclusive private reserves in the world,

Timbavati, part of vast and justly famed

Greater Kruger National Park. The wildlife

viewing here is unmatched, and we head

out on foot and by open 4WD vehicle for

incredible sightings of lion, leopard,

elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo—Africa’s

legendary Big Five.

Drakensberg Mountains

Amid the

tabletop peaks of the Drakensberg (“Dragon’s
