South Africa Explorer programmes

The spectacular Drakensberg Mountains stretch for 200 miles and contain an impressive array of peaks, waterfalls, forested valleys and nature reserves. The region of the Amphitheatre is home to a massive curving wall of sandstone over which the second highest waterfalls in the world tumble. The Blyde River Canyon also provides some wonderful trekking opportunities along the length of its 35km gorge, with stunning views across the Lowveld to Kruger National Park.
