You can put out of your mind any images of forced hikes through the blistering bush with an empty canteen in your hand while trying to outrun wild animals. That’s the stuff of 1930s Hollywood films and, entertaining as they may be, they are of no relevance whatsoever to the 21st century reality. A guided holiday experience walking South Africa is a unique experience. It’s a way to really immerse yourself in the countryside and culture that is very different to the traditional ‘tourist excursion’. Yet that uniqueness is not at the expense of your comfort. Nobody is going to forget that you’re on holiday, and the emphasis is on professionally guided walks that are appropriate for your needs as well as your level of expertise. The sights A holiday walking South Africa will probably be unlike any other holiday you’ve ever had. The ‘rainbow nation’ offers a diverse and interesting series of attractions including: • marvellous cities such as Durban and Cape Town; • incomparable bush and wildlife areas; • fantastic historic sights and locations; • exotic displays and collections of unique flowers and plants; • superb beaches and coastal areas on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans; • massively diverse cuisines due to the varied cultural backgrounds of many of the people that live there; • a booming and highly-regarded wine industry and supporting vineyards; • a host of very friendly and welcoming people. Of course, you can choose a visit to South Africa that involves locking yourself away in a hotel near a beach and simply having what some call an ‘international holiday’. That may be fine for some but for others, that sort of holiday can feel very much the same whatever country you’re in. By contrast, a guided holiday walking South Africa will mean that you have the opportunity not only to see the country but actually to live it. Holidays designed for you Perhaps one of the biggest attractions of a guided holiday walking South Africa is that you don’t have to make huge compromises on what you want to do and see. These holidays are typically built around the individual needs of the more discerning holidaymaker who, over time, has learned what interests them – and what doesn’t. For example, if you enjoy flora and fauna there will be a guided tour which allows you to see some of South Africa’s fantastic gardens and plant life. Similarly, if (for example) the sea is simply not your thing, then you’re not going to be forced to participate in a boat trip just because everybody else is. Your holiday can be tailored to some degree to your specific interest and needs, and all the time you’ll be in the expert hands of your well-qualified tour leader or leaders. Avoiding the superficial Walking South Africa at an appropriate pace (tours exist for all ages and fitness levels) with time to spare will allow you to see what has to be seen in-depth and at your convenience. Furthermore, your tour leader will be an expert in the location you’re walking and will ensure that you get to understand and fully appreciate the beautiful spots you’ll be visiting. You’ll see and experience the location to the maximum extent possible, so that it will be indelibly ingrained in your memory. The modern Republic of South Africa has come a long way and is justifiably proud of the attractions its land and peoples hold for visitors. It’s there and waiting for you – and a holiday walking South Africa may be the very best way to see it.
