#TrekSouthAfrica: SA in 180 days

29 Sep 2016

Six South Africans have started on a six-month journey through South Africa to explore the country's leading trails and paths to inspire tavellers all over the world to experience the best attractions Mzansi has to offer.

Dubbed the #TrekSouthAfrica project, the team will travel through all nine provinces, exploring 21 South African National Parks, 18 nature reserves and eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 180 days.

Inspiring international travellers to experience South Africa

Sam Chevallier, game ranger, environmentalist, and leader of the #TrekSouthAfrica project, hopes that by sharing their travel experiences, it will encourage more international travellers to make South Africa their chosen holiday destination.

“South Africa is known as the third most biologically diverse ecosystem in the world, there is also a rich diversity of languages and cultures. A large portion of the country's economy is based within tourism, with the majority of wildlife dependent on it - so through documenting our travels we hope to inspire people to experience South Africa.”
