Walks in Africa Reviews

"We are just back from an absolutely wonderful walking holiday in South Africa. After a couple of days enjoying Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula, we enjoyed a week's hiking in the incredible Cederberg, staying in superb accommodation at Kromrivier and with our fantastic guides Frank Dwyer and Ray Leverson. We followed this with something very different, walking the Green Mountain Trail based out of the superb Wildekrans guesthouse. Throughout our trip, we stayed in wonderful accommodation with welcoming and helpful hosts and enjoyed great food, great wines and the very best company. Angus at Walks in Africa was critical in planning this holiday with us and took lots of time to understand our needs and make suggestions. I feel sure that we will be doing another walking holiday with you soon."

"We're just back from a fantastic 4 week trip to South Africa including a 170km walk along the Drakensberg escarpment from Sentinel Peak to the Sani Pass. The route was just so spectacular and we didn't see another tourist until we arrived at the highest pub in Africa on the Sani Pass. Zee, our Zuku lady guide was great and she and the porters belting out Nkosi Sikelel' above a sea of clouds on South Africas' highest peak was quite something. \r\n\r\nEverything was perfectly organised by Walks in Africa including two resupply trips. This is the third time we have used Walks in Africa and every time has been brilliant - Angus' attention to detail is spot on, nothing is left to chance."

"Walks in Africa created an outstanding four-part trip combining trekking, wildlife viewing, and relaxation. We started at the Cavern Resort for a few day hikes and great meals. Then we did our 15-day Drakensberg trek covering 100 miles of fantastic scenery and clear skies of stars and the Milky Way. Next, we relaxed at the Moorcroft Lodge and Oyster Box, both wonderful rooms, views, and meals. Finally, we did 4 days of safaris at the fantastic Leopard Mountain Lodge in the Manyoni Reserve: cheetahs, lions, hippos, rhinos and other mammals; numerous bird species including owls and eagles; and wonderful & warm people providing various services.

"Angus organised a 6 day, 5 night hiking trip in the Northern Drakensberg for myself and my daughter, followed by a tour of the Zulu and Boer war battlefields and a safari for myself and my husband.\r\n\r\nThe whole trip was meticulously organised and the level of detail provided before the trip filled me with confidence. I wasn\u2019t disappointed.\r\n\r\nAngus recommended and booked a fabulous guide for our trek - Zee with her team of porters and a cook. This was our first time camping and we both thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely do another camping trip. Waking up in such majestic surroundings and knowing that we were not going to see anyone else was magical. \r\n\r\nFollowing the hiking trip we met up with my husband at Three Tree Hills lodge. This was a fabulous recommendation from Angus - one of the best places I have stayed. My daughter then returned to the UK and we continued our holiday with a stay at Fugitive\u2019s Drift and then Phinda game reserve. Both were excellent places - we very much enjoyed the battlefields tours and saw all the big 5 at Phinda. \r\n\r\nI cannot recommend Walks in Africa enough. The planning and attention to detail was superb and we had a memorable holiday. A great way to celebrate turning 60!"

"Walks in Africa prepared a 19 day itinerary in S Africa based around a 6 day supported trek through the Drakensberg Mts. The team was fantastic, led by ~ee, a larger than life Zulu lady guide and her team of Zulu porters and cook. Lovely people and spectacular scenery - now wishing we'd done the whole Drakensberg Traverse.\r\nFollowing the trek we had a couple of days in the area of the Zulu and Boer wars battlefields. Another great guide to the battles of Isandlwala and Rorkes Drift - his great grandfather had fought at Isandlwala.\r\nThen on to Imfolozi reserve for some game viewing including a couple of days wilderness walking camping at Mpila - a great experience and the bush knowledge of the guides is quite amazing. Highly recommended.\r\nThe trip finished in the Manyoni reserves and the luxurious Leopard Mountain Lodge where a pride of lions walking between the chalets added some extra excitement.\r\nI cannot thank Walks in Africa enough. They have been great from the beginning - everything they suggested worked out spectacularly. Post covid travel in S Africa is very easy - we're already planning our next visit."
