- Birding in the Pilanesberg
Birding in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve is richly rewarding. The extraordinary variety of habitats, ranging from grassland, woodland, mountains and ravines to bushveld and a huge dam, is home to over 300 species. Situated in the crater of an extinct volcano, the Pilanesberg Game Reserve is the 4th largest in Southern Africa.
- 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.
- Kaapsehoop Horse Trails Volunteer Project
Do you love horses, even if you don’t yet know how to ride? Then volunteer for the Kaapsehoop Horse Trails Volunteer Project. You’ll learn all the basic skills amidst spectacular Mpumalanga scenery on horses that live alongside the famed Kaapsehoop wild horses.
- Birding in Memel
If you go birding in Memel, you stand an excellent chance of seeing almost mythical grassland birds like Rudd’s lark and Botha’s lark. The enormous Seekoeivlei wetland nearby, named for the hippos that once lived here (and now do again) attracts dozens of aquatic bird species.
- Evening walks on the Garden Route
Mermaid’s purses, nautilus shells, purple urchins, cushion stars, entertaining octopuses – these are just some of the wonders you’ll encounter on Garden Route evening walks. Under a full or new moon, walk along a beach rich with abundant marine life best seen at night.
- Birding in Rustenburg
Birding in Rustenburg will fill any birder – from beginner to expert twitcher – with delight. Tick off hundreds of birds including raptors, waterbirds, bushveld birds and LBJs (little brown jobs) in a superb variety of habitats ranging from mountains, bushveld and grasslands to huge dams.
- Birding in Madikwe Game Reserve
Birding in Madikwe Game Reserve gives you hours of rewarding sightings, from raptors and terrestrial birds to bush and water birds. Situated in the North West Province, next to the Botswana border, Madikwe is one of the few game reserves worldwide proclaimed specifically for sustainable land use as a game reserve.
- Cheetah Experience, Free State
Many of the visitors to the Cheetah Experience in Bloemfontein have never seen a cheetah, lion or leopard before. Many are so moved by the experience of being up close with the animals at this sanctuary for big cats that they become cheetah volunteers.
