Guiding
Aimed primarily at
the overseas market, we offer guiding to some of the best places in South
Africa. Places that don't even register on the tourist map because they
are remote, access is often difficult - there are no signposts and there
are generally no facilities. In most cases you be the only ones there.
What do we provide?
Climbers are individuals, and we will therefore tailor any trip to suit
your needs. We provide all the logistics from beginning to end; picking
you up from the airport, providing transport, a guide, showing you the
best places, and sharing the way we see Africa with you. You'll have to
get the plane ticket and your passport and any visa you might require.
Our focus is on the mountains to the northern part of the country, but
on demand we can show you the Drakensberg and even the Cape Mountains.
But our expertise and experience is up here, so we'd prefer to offer you
that.
Cost: This is a rough estimate, and a quote will be produced
on demand to fit in with your needs.
EUR 100 pppd. OR EUR 70 pppd if 2 or more people.
Included: Transport, food and soft drinks, permits in
South Africa. Equipment like tables and chairs, lights and potjies for
Botswana leg.
Not Included: Botswana Park Fees, Mocorro rides, boat trips, optional
extras.
50% deposit on booking.
To Bring: All your own climbing gear, camping gear.
To be Able to: If we are to climb at Blouberg, you need to be leading
grad 18 (French 5c+) on Trad gear, or at least follow 20 (6b) Otherwise,
the range of grades can be found to suit your climbing.
Appreciate an African way of life.
Other Trips - "Quickies"
Trips to the Magaliesberg, either daily or overnight can be offered on
demand. You have a conference in Johannesburg and need to work off the
good food, pack you climbing shoes and harness, or just your hiking boots,
and we'll take you out for a day in the Magaliesberg.
