Mpumalanga, South Africa
The magnificent scenery of the fauna and flora as well as a wealth of fascinating tribal legends make this region a must-see.
Mpumalanga has fast become one of South Africa’s top tourist destinations. Aptly known as “Paradise Country,” there are few regions in the world that can compare to this extraordinary beauty .This is also Big Game Country, the setting for dozens of sanctuaries teeming with wildlife and birds. Among them, the Kruger National Park is world renowned, as are several of the luxurious private reserves on its western boundary. The entire area offers exceptional opportunities for bird-watching, hiking, horse-riding and fishing. Streams once panned for gold have become the haunts of eager anglers and lazy trout.
En route to the Kruger National Park through Mpumalanga, you have the advantage of some stunning scenery. Turn off the N4 to the village of Dullstroom, travel over the Long Tom Pass and its splendid panoramic views to Lone Creek Falls and the charming forestry town of Sabie.
Just beyond Sabie, the Mac Mac Falls are worth stopping for; and you can treat yourself to a swim in the crystal-clear pools. A small detour leads to Pilgrim’s Rest; a fascinating historic town, well worth exploring before continuing to Blyderivierspoort Nature Reserve. In the reserve, you can feast your eyes on the Blyde River Canyon and the rich bird life. At the southern tip of the reserve, the view from God’s Window stretches to eternity across the Lowveld. From there, it’s a short and easy drive to some of the finest private game reserves in the country and Orpen Gate to the Kruger National Park

Port Elizabeth boasts of having 300 out of 365 days a year of sunshine – more than any other province in South Africa with the result that a large range of outdoor activities are possible, regardless of when you visit.
Located at one end of the picturest Garden Route, many come to explore the many beaches in and near the city. The Eastern Cape encapsulates all the very best that South Africa has to offer – deserted beaches, authentic cultural experiences, historic settler towns, the wide open plains of the Karoo, soaring mountains and superb wildlife; all coupled with world-class accommodation.
The centrally situated Port Elizabeth Airport provides easy access to all parts of the city. Taxis offer reliable, convenient and courteous service. Scenic helicopter flights are available for those who want a bird’s eye view of the area. Another popular and unique mode of transport in Nelson Mandela Bay is water cruising – an ideal way of seeing the marine life.Looking for an adrenaline rush, why not conquer the Maitland Sand Dunes. Other places to explore include the historic Fort Frederick and the Penguin Rehabilitation Centre.
Nelson Mandela Bay prides itself on offering the Big Seven of the animal kingdom. In addition to the Big Five – lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant – visitors to the nearby 180 000ha Addo Elephant National Park can see the great white shark and southern right whale in the bay waters off the park.
After sunset, people often head for the beachfront where clubs, bars and restaurants light up the night sky.

Tour description:
First completed in 1903 by the elder guides of La Compagnie des Guides, this route connects two historical alpine capitals. The popularity of this route, taking part on glaciers for the most part, is based on the exceptional beauty of the landscapes.
Starting in Chamonix, at the foot of Mont Blanc and the great North faces of the Argentière cirque, your skis will lead you across the Wallis region of Switzerland, finishing with a unique ski descent just below the Matterhorn. A dream for all touring skiers, this tour is a serious adventure, requiring a good experience of multi-day ski touring trips, and good off-piste skiing skills.
Skiing the” Haute Route” from Chamonix to Zermatt, and connecting the two mountaineering world capitals, is undoubtedly the most classic, not to be missed ski touring trip ever! Located in the glacier Tour cirque and facing the Chardonnet Peak, Refuge Albert 1er will remain open during the coming 2016 winter season. Staying overnight at the hut, just half-way between Chamonix and Champex lake, allows skiers to do the trip in 6 days. During the first 2 days, we review mountaineering equipment and ski touring techniques to increase safety during the trip and therefore enjoy a beautiful ski touring experience across the Wallis region.
