Walk in the footsteps of African icons

Fly overnight to Johannesburg OR Tambo airport, South Africa.

Your flight from the UK will arrive early morning, giving you ample time to catch your short connecting flight to Hoedspruit, located just outside of the world famous Kruger National Park.

Upon landing you'll be met at the airport and whisked to the lovely, relaxed Africa on Foot Safari Lodge, where you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon and evening safari game drive before prepping for the adventure which awaits you over the coming days.

This is the day the adventure begins proper. After breakfast, you'll be taken to the pre-arranged meeting point where you'll embark in to the African wilderness for three nights, walking where 4x4 vehicles can't often reach. Led by highly experienced guides who will track iconic African wildlife - you'll soon discover a new found appreciation for nature and wildlife. This will be your first night in your Africa on Foot tented wilderness accommodation, as darkness begins to fall, you may be fortunate enough to hear the unmistakable roar of lions bellowing their dominance in the African bush.

Led by your experienced guides, you’ll discover the intricacies and finer details of the fragile ecosystem which surrounds you, from tiny insects and reptiles to how guides track big game. Imagine the exhilarating experience of tracking and encountering herds of buffalo, elephants, rhino, big cats such as leopards and lions – and the vast array of other species which live in the African wilderness.

After a freshly prepared, delicious dinner – you’ll be amazed at what the camp staff can create – you can relax and watch and listen to the camp fire, affectionately known as bush tv, the sounds of the nocturnal wilderness waking up to their nightly activities and an ocean of star painted across the sky above you.

If you’re fortunate, you might be invited to help out with night watch at the campfire, which is an amazing experience. This is an opportunity where you can embrace silence, solitude and look into yourself, something which is very difficult to do in today’s fast paced lifestyle… finally you can hear your own thoughts…

After a last morning at camp, you may have time for one final bush walk and then it's back to the lodge where you can have an relaxing afternoon, then head out on a safari game drive in the afternoon and maybe enjoy a cooling drink in the bush whilst watching a glorious African sunset.

This morning you'll be transferred back to Hoedspruit Airport to catch your short flight to the beautiful Cape Town where you'll spend the next three nights at the homely Abbey Manor Guesthouse, which is perched on the slopes of Table Mountain.

With a tonne of activities, you'll certainly not be bored in beautiful Cape Town. Do as much or as little as you like; head to Boulders Beach to see the resident penguin colony, hike up Table Mountain, soak up the fantastic art and culture or jump on the famous Franschhoek wine tour tram and enjoy some of the oldest and most distinguished vineyards in South Africa.

It's time to say goodbye to Cape Town and catch your international flight from Cape Town back to the UK. You'll no doubt have a tonne of stories and adventures to share with your friends and family when you arrive home.
