South Africa and its neighbour Swaziland are rich in wildlife and have a huge variety of landscapes. We experience the wildlife in the world famous Kruger National Park and Hlane Game Reserve. As we travel through Mpumalanga Province with its panoramic passes, viewpoints, mountains, valleys, waterfalls and forests we will learn about the history of this region and the battles that have taken place. We also experience its vibrant culture by staying in a traditional Swazi village in grass huts, and visiting the Zulu national hero's village before finishing our journey with a few days at the St Lucia Wetlands, the largest estuarine water body in Africa, and the beautiful beaches of the Natal North Coast.
