South Africa Walks programme ideal for holiday-planners

Julia Bradbury presents programme promoting hiking holidays in South Africa

South Africa, with its promise of offering the "world in one country", has often been seen as an ideal destination for people planning interesting and diverse hiking holidays.

This view has been corroborated by the BBC, which has produced a television programme dedicated to hiking trails across the African nation.

South Africa Walks, presented by Julia Bradbury, is currently being shown on BBC Two, with the next episode set to focus on the fantastic and famous game reserve: the Kruger.

The programme, which will be broadcast on Friday (August 26th) at 7pm, will follow Ms Bradbury as she explores the Kruger National Park, which is one of the largest game reserves in all of Africa.

The previous episode of South Africa Walks - which is available on BBC's iPlayer online service until Friday August 26th - was dedicated to the Drakensberg interior mountain range, which is the tallest in southern Africa.
