Wildlife, Wineries, and Winding Trails Highlights

Take on Table Mountain: Summit one of Earth’s oldest peaks and watch the sunrise paint the South Atlantic – your highest view of Africa awaits.

Braai & Banter: Join local chefs for sizzling South African barbecue feasts, learning secret spice blends while swapping stories under the stars.

Wildlife Close Encounters: From penguin colonies to elephant herds, get within arm’s reach of Africa’s most charismatic wildlife (camera ready!).

Ostrich Farm Adventures: Race ostriches at dawn, then feast on farm-fresh eggs while these giant birds roam your breakfast table – yes, really.

Stellenbosch Wine & Run: Combine morning trail runs through historic vineyards with afternoon tastings of world-class wines (the perfect recovery drink).

What Past Runners Say

Run South Africa is a diverse and unique experience where you traverse from the western to eastern cape and learn about the history and culture from the most amazing local guides – Nic & Carma Shaw and our run guide Jamie. If you’re into visiting a warm climate penguin colony, seeing baboons on the side of the road, zip lining through the canopy of the Tsitsikamma forest, staying on an ostrich farm (with the best homemade jams), and visiting Addo elephant sanctuary for a safari tour, then this is the trip for you. Adventure awaits!!! And if your inner daredevil is itching to be let out, a bungee jump off of Bloukrans Bridge could be in store for you (it’s awesome)- I highly recommend!

South Africa was amazing! The diversity and beauty of the country was a surprise. The Rogue Team was outstanding. While elements of the running journey were challenging, the Rogue Team supported us the entire way. We were pampered the entire trip and our guides treated us like family. Shout out to Kara, Nic, Carma and Jamie! It was a wonderful week, making new friends and experiencing a rich culture. It was the trip of a lifetime!

If you’ve ever wanted to visit South Africa and you’re a runner, book this trip immediately. This is one of those incredibly special, one-in-lifetime experiences. I didn’t know anything about Rogue Expeditions before booking this trip, but I’m so glad I went for it. Our guides were so kind and fun to be around, and our group was full of high energy adventure runners of varying paces and levels. If you visited South Africa on your own, it’s unlikely that you would get to run on some of the trails we experienced. I’m grateful that Rogue made it possible to see so much of the beautiful Western Cape — South Africa completely stole my heart.

This trip is absolutely fabulous! Rogue Expeditions always puts on amazing experiences, but their South African partners made this one very special. Attention to detail was immaculate, program was spectacular, and everyone on the team was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun. We had so much fun learning about history, nature, culture, food and so many other things in South Africa. Truly a gem of a trip. Oh and we got a bunch of amazing runs in as well!

Great running and so much more. It was a wonderful group of enthusiastic people that managed to squeeze in some glorious trail runs in between great meals (including Nic’s secret recipe potjie), beautiful farm/rural/seaside/urban lodging, national park visit (elephants!! penguins!!), and unbelievably informative (and entertaining- looking at you Hendré) guides. So good that I signed up for another trip next year even before I made all the way home from this one!
