South Africa is home to an abundance of wildlife and bush activities abound. You can choose to just watch some of the many beautiful species of birds that this country has been blessed with by taking bird tours in any province that you visit or go game viewing at any time in many of our major parks that operate day and night game viewing tours or enjoy an enlightening game walk.
There are just plenty of activities that you can enjoy in the South African wild.

| | | Vultures like to sit down to a good meal, but unlike other animals they are quite specific about what’s on the menu. These rather ugly birds only eat the meat of dead animals, so they can be tricky dinner guests…

| | | For many, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is their favourite wilderness experience. It may be hot and dry, but it’s also spectacular – each visitor seeing something in it that is special to them. The park, one of the biggest conservancies in the world, and a model for similar collaboration elsewhere, comprises South Africa’s former Kalahari Gemsbok National Park and Botswana’s Gemsbok National Park.

| | | Only 2 hours from Gauteng you can see the Big Five in one of the country’s best national parks – the Pilanesberg. Set in an ancient volcanic crater, this reserve has a dramatic landscape that supports a wide variety of plants, animals and birds.

| | | When the world weighs so heavily upon your shoulders that you feel like you’re dragging your knuckles on the ground, it’s probably time to take to the trees.

|
| | | The KwaZulu-Natal province is well known for its pristine waters. From the top of the Drakensberg Mountains to the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean the land drops thousands of metres. The scenery is breathtaking, but the wildlife waits to be explored and enjoyed in a way different to the usual game viewing.

| How does one treat a snakebite, and what on earth does a kudu spoor look like? How does one scraggly tree in the bushveld differ from another and what does one need to know in order to track down the ‘Big Five’? How do you interpret the sounds of the bushveld or identify rare birds and insects?

|
| | | There’s something deeply thrilling about coming face to face with the jaws of a Great White shark or Nile crocodile – as long as you’re safely tucked away in a strong cage…
|
|
| | | The Red Data List, which catalogues every species on Earth with worryingly low population numbers, defines ‘Threatened’ as somewhere below endangered and vulnerable. Count yourself lucky, then, if you see some of the most charismatic animals in South Africa that are threatened with extinction – the brown hyena, serval cat and the tough honeybadger.

|
| | | In the land of the ancient warrior-queens and more recent liberation heroes, the townships around the Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet are pulsing with life.
