Climb the best mountains on Safari South Africa and Malawi, combining hikes, wildlife, views and Lake Malawi in one holiday.

A Safari South Africa combined with Malawi offers more than wildlife. Travellers can climb Southern Africa's finest mountains alongside game drives and lakeside time.

1. Climb the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa

A Safari South Africa grows richer with the Drakensberg. Trails lead to waterfalls and rock art, with eland and reedbuck often seen along the way.

Table Mountain suits any Safari South Africa plan. Platteklip and Skeleton Gorge suit hikers; the cableway offers an easier route to the summit.

3. Climb Mount Mulanje in Malawi

No Malawi leg of a Safari South Africa trip skips Mount Mulanje. Routes range from day walks to multi-day climbs past waterfalls and granite peaks.

Nyika Plateau adds hiking to a Safari South Africa and Malawi trip, with grasslands, zebra and roan antelope across one of Malawi's coolest climates.
