South Africa has a unique set of characteristics that make walking safaris in big game areas one of the safest and most rewarding outdoor experiences: a huge expanse of protected habitat richly populated with wildlife; excellent tourism facilities; a favourable climate; and expertly trained trail guides. Seasoned hikers, Hlengiwe Magagula and Denis Costello describe more than 50 guided walks across 22 parks and reserves in South Africa – from short dawn and dusk walks and multi-day outings from a base camp to backpacking trails that span several days. Facilities range from ultra-luxurious to ‘wild camping’, either in tents or under the stars. Also included is a series of first-hand accounts that vividly illustrate the magical experience of exploring the bush on foot. An advisory section gives a rundown of when to go, what to pack, what to wear, and the dos and don’ts of walking in areas with big game. Both a practical guide to walking in the wild and a lodestar to the wonders and restorative powers of the natural world. Sales points: Multiple trail types, durations and difficulty levels to suit all needs; experts’ selection of safe, affordable walks led by professional guides; practical advice, inspiring first-hand accounts, and full-colour images.

This is a completely revised edition of The Guide to Hiking Trails and Guide to Backpacking and Wilderness Trails in one volume. It provides coverage of over 160 hiking, backpacking and wilderness trails of South Africa and Namibia. The trails are described by region, with information on how to make reservations, the facilities available, the distance covered and a description of the trail, including an indication of the degree of difficulty and the sort of weather to expect. Contour profiles and location maps of each trail are provided. On some of the trails backpackers are totally self-sufficient, and on others hikers are accompanied by a guide. The guide should be useful to both first-timers and experienced hikers.
