2 (rating definition)
This trip travels to a relatively conservative area. We encourage you to experience the destination and culture with the following in mind:
Accommodation - We do not foresee any problems, however there may be occasions when a same sex couple may be asked to sleep in single beds rather than sharing a double. We appreciate your cooperation.
Public Display of affection - These are frowned upon in this region among all travellers, not just those on an OUT Adventure. This includes holding hands in public.
Gay Activities - This trip may not have specific gay hosted events, meals or day tours due to the cultural sensitivity of this region. We will do our best to provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and your fellow travellers to experience this culture.

Journey through the spectacular Mpumalanga Province along the Panorama Route. Stop at the stunning Blyde River Canyon for extravagant panoramas of the region.
The wildlife experience begins on passing through the gates of the Kruger. An open vehicle night drive is a chance to see the savannah's most secretive animals before enjoying a traditional braai (barbecue) around the campfire. An early morning breakfast and a steaming mug of coffee will kickstart a day of game viewing and bird watching.
Enjoy Swazi song and dance at a cultural village before spending the night in a traditional Swazi hut.
Visit South Africa's most celebrated park - the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, home to the Big Five and a whole lot more. Spend the evening on the banks of Lake St Lucia, where a huge diversity of species live. In the evening retire to a historic Zululand homestead.
The inviting sands of Durban are the golden finale to this exploration.
The magnificent Drakensberg Mountains are a paradise of fresh mountain air and exquisite surroundings.
Back to bustling Johannesburg, our OUT Family Adventure will come to a close.

This amount is the final payment for your trip and is to be paid in the specified currency, in cash to your leader upon arrival. The local payment is non-refundable, and is considered part of the total trip payment.
It is expensive to transfer funds to many countries - so by making a Local Payment you help us keep your costs low.
The Local Payment is used for paying for local services such as hotels and transport.
No, as the money is used to pay for local services these cannot be paid elsewhere.
