Explore

Fly into Johannesburg in South Africa, andhead to Swaziland for your acclimatisation. You’ll embark on a trek around the Malolotja Nature Reserve, one of the most impressive wildlife areas in southern Africa. You’ll also get the chance to explore Mozambique’s tropical coastline.

Challenge yourself

There are some wonderful trekking opportunities in Swaziland’s Malolotja Reserve, Ngwempisi Gorge or Lubombo Mountains. Community-based treks, beautiful forests, rolling plateaus and challenging mountain terrain are all there for you to explore, with plenty of wildlife to be spotted!
