2012-Feb - South Africa

Good day,

Due South will be undertaking the “Southern Spear” tour in a few weeks time.  I recently received two requests for a tour in the second half of February 2012.  An American chap (USA) and a Swedish gent are both coming out for this tour and I was wondering if you or any associates may be interested in a ride!?

 

The tour includes three African Kingdoms: Swaziland (world’s last ruling monarchy), Zululand (Zulu Nation) and Lesotho (landlocked mountain Kingdom within SA), two game drives (a sundowners drive into Kruger National Park and a day trip into St Lucia Wetlands National Park (beach brunch)).  In addition we will ride through Oribi Gorge National Park and Golden Gate Highlands National Park both spectacular.  Scenery is diverse and spectacular as is the riding.  Accommodations will be handpicked spots including a night in a rustic bush camp on the edge of Kruger which will bring you close to the natural habitat of the “Big 5” (may even spot a Hippo in the Dam).
