Guided Hiking Experiences in South Africa
Type: Guided Adventure Activity
Category: Service Excellence
Motivation for award: Why do we hike? Hiking encourages you to step away from your desk and step back out into nature. It’s a chance to experience the world directly and without a filter, and to rediscover the rhythms of the day and the seasons. Hiking is an unscripted experience where spontaneity is the rule. Most people admit they are a different person after hiking. Perhaps you will simply discover more about yourself that was on the inside your entire life waiting to be revealed on the trail. There’s only one way to find out: Join us!

Start Hiking is professional, reliable and extremely well organized. No one is ever left behind. The team ensures that everyone’s needs are well taken care of before , during and after the hike. The hiking trails, accommodation and any indirect costs to be incurred are well articulated to all hikers before a financial commitment have been made.
We have spent so many beautiful and restful evening by the fire with singing and story telling. It’s like being with family even though we are always meeting new people on various hikes.
Start Hiking is environmental friendly and observes COVID requirements. This group makes hiking safe and attractive even to those who don’t have hiking experience. Whenever I want to connect with nature and escape from mundane work routines I go hiking with this group. Hiking groups are always diverse, inclusive and full of fun.

Since our first hiking adventure Sandra and Carlo made out experience memorable they go out of their way to allow the taking in of the full breathtaking experience, every second is something we have never experienced before they put their passion into Start hiking today they offer professional , exciting, and breathtaking moments to unwind . I was lucky to experience her first woman’s hike which ladies connected and felt special we helped and challenge one another , with the family hike at blade river and mount Sheba as well as whataba we experienced the love and importance of spending quality time away from technology, we saw things in nature never seen before and the moments sitting around the campfire discussing our hike relaxing singing and laughing together is something we will never forget . Our son was their youngest hiker of the age of 8 doing a 12 km hike and they cared showed love and helped keeping him and all of us safe . It’s not just a hike it’s a way we started loving to live , like they say one life live it . I will always recommend Start hiking today .
