NATURE LOVERS - SCHEDULED TOUR.

Nature Lovers could consist of hikers, walkers, UNI students wishing to do their field studies, animal & botany lovers and African eco-system fans.

With South Africa’s vast natural diversity and the Cape region being one of the worlds Floral Kingdoms, there really are many options – the list below highlights these major activities.


1) Botany.
The Cape Floral Kingdom has recently achieved the status of UN World Heritage Site, with a staggering 9000 unique species of Flora. Tours of the region will take in the many National Botanical Gardens, flower farms, forestry and National Parks which are found on many differing terrains – from beach level to high lofty mountain peaks and ranges. The most famous plants include – Protea, Iris, Yellow Wood trees, many cacti, Erica and Restio.


2) Hikers & Walkers.
The Western Cape has stunning mountain ranges, gorges, valleys, and rivers that so impress every tourist that it is very hard for them not to take 100’s of photos around every corner. The most famous of them all is the mind-blowing, 1083m high, Table Mountain that can be climbed & hiked in 5 or 6 hours.

Other impressive ranges include – Riviersonderend, Klein Riviers, Hex River, Langeberg and Hottentot Holland.

Remote lodges, chalets and cabins provide comfortable over night accommodation.


3) Safaris & African Animals.
Day and evening game drives in 4x4 Land Rovers at many wildlife Safari parks and reserves are by far the easiest way to spot the many varied species of animals. Where else could you see elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes, birds, African big cats, monkeys and the big 5 in their natural surroundings.

The oceans are also teaming with creatures-from-the-deep; whales, dolphins, sharks, seals & penguins, and with over 1000 species of birds, this region is a twitchers paradise.

All the major wildlife documentary makers - BBC, Animal Planet, Discovery and National Geographic regularly spend weeks filming this region.
