South Africa & Lesotho

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South Africa is one of Africa's most diverse destinations, spanning dramatic coastlines, vast savannahs, and the iconic Cape Winelands, with world-renowned safari experiences in parks like Kruger National Park. Landlocked within South Africa, Lesotho — the "Kingdom in the Sky" — is a highland nation known for its rugged Drakensberg mountain scenery, pony trekking, and Basotho culture. Together, the two destinations attract travellers seeking an exceptional mix of big-five wildlife, outdoor adventure, vibrant cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg, and authentic cultural encounters. Hiking, surfing, diving, road-tripping the Garden Route, and exploring Lesotho's remote mountain passes are among the most popular pursuits.

Self-Launched: 12-Day Durban, Lesotho & Cape Town (Drakensberg, Battlefields & Garden Route)

A self-launched version of Acacia Adventure Holidays' 12-day overland from Durban to Cape Town — the Drakensberg, a Sani Pass crossing into Lesotho, the KwaZulu-Natal battlefields, Mountain Zebra and Addo wildlife parks, the Garden Route, the Cango Caves and Cape Agulhas. Instead of a guided group truck you use the Baz Bus hop-on/hop-off network, minibus shuttles and public intercity coaches, plus local day tours you book yourself via GetYourGuide/Klook or directly with operators in Underberg, Malealea and Tsitsikamma. Costs below are approximate per-person budget/traveller estimates in GBP and assume dorm or budget twin accommodation and self-catering where possible.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South Africa & Lesotho yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
