- Hiking in Mpumalanga
Hiking in Mpumalanga has got it all – one of the world’s deepest canyons, mountains, rivers, forests and waterfalls. Amble along a half-day trail, stride out for a full day, or take a 4- or 5- day hike where you’re guaranteed to shed stress and find peace.
- Birding in Golden Gate Highlands National Park
Think eagles, falcons, kestrels and buzzards, threatened vulture species and endemic grassland species – that's the avian menu when you go birding in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park. Red sandstone formations, lots of game, rolling grasslands and exhilarating mountain air all add to the memorable experience.
- Tracking cheetahs
If you get the chance to go tracking cheetahs on foot at Samara, don’t hesitate. Get those boots on, follow your experienced guide, and go stalking through the bush. Chances are you’ll see one of the loveliest of all the cats dozing under a tree, hunting, or on a kill.
- Pakamisa's Arabian horses
Visit an exclusive game lodge in northern KwaZulu-Natal, and see the Arabian horses at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve where Isabella Stepski, renowned international Arabian horse expert, breeds horses. Take a horseback safari, a game drive, a bush walk or just relax in beautiful surroundings.
- Climbing in Emgwenya
Mpumalanga’s Emgwenya is one of South Africa’s best rock climbing destinations. Explore over 500 sport climbs ranging from easy to very difficult on mostly vertical rock faces, some with overhangs and overlaps. Unlike climbing destinations elsewhere in the world, here you’ll find good weather nearly all year round.
- African wild cats
African wild cats are the ancestors of those gorgeous, slinky felines that inhabit our homes. In the savannahs and bushveld of South Africa, they live fiercely independent and nocturnal lives. And look out for the similar small spotted cat – a ferocious little creature with the heart of a lion.
- Bat-eared foxes
Bat-eared foxes are nocturnal, insect-loving members of that secretive society, the Shy 5. But if you look for them in mid-winter, when they’re likely to still be about looking for insects after dawn, you’ve a good chance of seeing them, especially in the dry Karoo and Kalahari regions.
- Blue duikers
Blue duikers, with their otherworldly little Javanese faces and secretive ways, are among the smallest antelope in the world. Hardly larger than a scrub hare, they live a secretive life in forests and thickets. But there is a place where you’re practically assured of a sighting.
- Bushbabies
Bushbabies, also known as galagos, are sweet, furry prosimians that are more closely related to Madagascan lemurs than normal monkeys. With their oversized eyes they hunt for food at night – mostly insects, leaves and tree gum. But it’s by their eerie wails at night that resemble a ghostly crying baby that you’ll first encounter them.
- Caracals
Caracals, which are very similar to the lynx cats found in the Northern Hemisphere, live secretive lives, mostly emerging in the early dusk to hunt. They are fearless and athletic, their well-developed hindquarters aiding their jumping and climbing abilities. These cats think nothing of bringing down prey far larger than themselves.
