More Details

Ker & Downey's South Africa walking safari first begins with the country's only malaria-free Big Five walking safari trail at Marataba Mountain Lodge. Indeed, this year-round destination proves perfect for those in search of an interactive safari experience amid the spectacular scenery and wildlife of the Waterberg region.

Spend four days here, exploring the many untouched micro-environments hidden within the private concession linked to Marakele National Park. This includes everything from mountain gorges and riverine courses to refreshing waterholes and ancient Stone Age cave paintings.

Your South Africa walking safari then continues along the country's famed Oystercatcher Trail. Indeed, this world-renowned, fully-catered trekking experience takes you along the golden beaches and green coastline of the Western Cape's Garden Route.

Over the course of four days, experience the ecological and cultural wonders found here. For example, spot and taste wild oysters in rock pools, and swim in small rocky bays. Along the way, encounter rare plant, bird, mammal, and marine life, and bask in romantic fireside dinners.

Then experience the ultimate South Africa adventure package within the 500-million year old landscapes of the Cederberg Mountains at Bushmans Kloof.

Daily archaeologist-led walking excursions lead you into the jagged mountains to visit one of the region's 130 San Bushman rock art sites, dated between 2,000 and 10,000 years old. Indeed, some of these cultural sites are among the oldest recorded -- even older than the pyramids. They therefore offer a window into the lives of the ancient San people.

Finally, conclude your South Africa walking safari with a bit of post-walking R&R within the luxurious confines of Cape Cadogan in Cape Town.

Spend your time here at your leisure, enjoying the sights and sounds of Cape Town's cosmopolitan ambiance. Alternatively, allow Ker & Downey to schedule an exciting outing to one of the city's nearby attractions.
