scenery near Pilgrim's Rest - South Africa

South Africa seems to have it all, beautiful beaches, mountains, game parks, and modern cities.

My time here was part of an 8 week trip to Southern Africa, including Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Tsitsikamma NP

My time in Cape Town was spent on my own, but I joined a 20 day tour from Johannesburg through Pilgrim's Rest to Blyde River Canyon, then to Kruger NP, Swaziland, Zululand, Drakensburg, Durban, Karoo and finally the Garden Route back to Cape Town.

I travelled with a South African Company called Drifters.

Bwana_Brown directed me to this page and he was right: excellent information. I'm planning on going here later this year and may be alone...I'm really happy you included the name of the tour company. This will definitely help! Thanks!
