Exceptional wildlife encounters, dramatic mountain scenery and poignant historic sites combine to bring you a memorable African adventure
This adventure, in one of the world's most culturally diverse nations, showcases the proud Zulu and Shangaan traditions as well as the important historic battles that helped define modern day South Africa. We spend time in the culturally-rich Kingdom of Swaziland and absorb the soaring beauty of the mountainous Drakensberg landscape. Staying in an atmospheric lodge in Greater Kruger National Park, we hope to encounter many of Africa's famous wildlife – including the 'Big Five' – over three unforgettable days. We drive around the picturesque Blyde River Canyon, cruise the tranquil waters of the St Lucia Wetlands and end our adventure in the vibrant coastal city of Durban.
