The Backpacker Or Budget Traveller - Backpacking

South Africa has much to offer the person who likes to pack his or her bag and travel the by-roads and back-roads. With the finest system of national hiking trails in Africa and one of the best in the world, little should stand between you and the African wilderness, except, perhaps, a pair of really stout boots. But then, if you arrive in Africa without them, we can provide those too. South Africa's hiking trails range from coastal experiences (when last did you cross an African river naked, with your gear in a bundle on your head?), to desert trails, bush walks and mountains hikes. We have them, you try them. If you are travelling on a budget, then South Africa has facilities for you, including budget buses and accommodation. Remember, however, that much of what you will want to do in South Africa comes for absolutely nothing!
