- Nature in South Africa
There is lots of it. And most of it is protected so there are huge tracts of unspoilt loveliness that will have any nature lover coming back for more. This icon indicates naturally beautiful areas away from any major civilisation.
- Horseriding
A lot of cowboy-type mentalities live in this country – so there is no shortage of ponies to ride. Trails vary in length from an hour to seven days. The choice is yours. This icon lets you know that horseriding is available nearby.

Ride from Khotso backpackers in the Southern Drakensberg over the mountains and into Lesotho.
Into the heart of God's country
This amazing experience takes you out into the heart of God’s country and far from people. In fact, all you’re likely to stumble upon is an old man on a donkey. And like him, you’ll be seeing Lesotho the traditional way, by horseback. After magnificent mountains, perfect plateaus and absolute peace, stop for ‘lunch with a view’ and then set off for Sehlabatebe village where a warm bath, a cold beer and hearty meal await you. Visit rock paintings, swim in waterfalls, see herds of wild horses and sample local beer.
