South Africa is definitely my favorite place in the world especially if you are looking for the ultimate bucket list adventures. If I had a choice I would move there in a heartbeat.

South Africa is definitely the perfect destination for adventure travellers the world over. I have traveled to the country with South Africa Adventures 5 times and yet I still find some incredible things to do on every visit. So when the owner of South Africa Adventures invited me to help promote the country to other travelers based on my previous experience I really didn’t have to think twice about it. So to help inspire you and give you some ideas for your next vacation to South Africa I’ve put together a list of what I think are the ultimate bucket list of things you have to do. Bucket list adventures #1: Hike to the highest mountain in South Africa Hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains is one of the bucket list adventures ‘must thing to do!!!’ These mountains just ooze awesomeness, majesty and serenity. This incredible hike is not only mind blazingly beautiful but is also one of the most challenging hikes I have done in a long time. But as is the thing in life and mountains, the summit needs to be earned. No such thing as a short cut to the top. And man did I earn that right to stand on the highest mountain in South Africa. The hike took us 4 days and 3 nights and covered nearly 60km. The route up is via what is known as Corner Pass (a steep

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Pilanesberg Safari Adventure The Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa is one of the best wildlife experiences in terms of the abundance of wildlife that can be found there. We have spent over 4000 hours guiding over the past 8 years. And yes we have basically seen it all. We’ve witnessed the gore and bloodshed of a lion taking down an impala. We’ve see the now endangered rhinos doing the funky monkey that would make even the most candid of us blush. We’ve even had lofty giraffes sticking their heads into our game vehicles to see who’s who in the zoo, I mean safari park. But what fascinates us the most about our Pilanesberg safaris is the African elephant. There are over 250 elephants in the reserve and so the chances of seeing them are pretty high. Well giraffes are pretty high but you know what we mean. Elephants of the Pilanesberg Safari We have been fortunate enough to spend time with the various breeding herds of the Pilanesberg as well as the infamous Bull elephants. Elephants are probably one of the most intelligent land animals. Having spent many hours observing their behavior our respect for them grows every time we are privileged enough for them to allow us into their circle of trust. On many occasions we have run into a breeding herd with babies. How they react to us in incredible. The social fabric of these breeding herds is so intricate and ordered. At the top of this stable social group is the matriarch who is chosen not on strength like most animal species but on intelligence, with some luck you can hopefully see her while on your Pilanesberg Safari. The hierarchy below her consists of closely related females and their offspring. One of the most amazing
