Escape the lockdown by answering the call of the wild
While we are required to stay at home to fight the coronavirus pandemic, that doesn't mean we can't escape to nature and get away from it all...

We are extremely lucky as South Africans to have the natural world on our doorstep. Be it your local nature reserve or the splendour of the Kruger National Park, we are able to escape the hustle and bustle of society to really get away from it all and relax.
