Nestled between a mountain range and the coast, lies an enchanted rainforest through which crystal clear rivers flow - much of this natural domain falls in the Garden Route National Park.
After their bout with wind, rain and the history of the Cape, the time has come for the team to have a close look at the animal world of Table Mountain National Park.
Namaqualand is a desert region along the west side of South Africa, also known as the Succulent Karoo. The team's mission is to cross the Kamiesberge on their way to the desert coast, one of the least known parts of South Africa.
When they return to the Namaqua National Park, the short rainy season has started and the desert is in full bloom. This time their mission is to find out how plants, animals and people survive in a land that is harsh.
In the land of rainmakers and baobab trees, the Zebra Bus travels in the shadow of the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, also known in Venda as Tshavhadzimu or 'Place of the Gods'.
'Thaba ya metsi' ('Mountain of Water') is the local name for the Waterberg Mountains, located in the Marakele National Park- the next sanctuary that our latest group of adventurers will explore.
After their brush with life and death in the wilderness, the adventurers are more than eager to explore the land further and see firsthand how the game rangers handle endangered species like the rhino.
In the far northwest of South Africa lies a forgotten land, known as the Richtersveld. Five young explorers set off from Alexander Bay High School on a mission into the arid land to find the legendary Big Snake.
The search for the Big Snake continues as the Zebra Bus team treks further and further into the ancient mountains in search of signs and messages left from ancient times, when people roamed freely across the landscape.
Now that they have visited the richest of all deserts in the world in terms of biodiversity, and they have seen the oldest paintings in Africa, they are ready to visit the biggest canyon on the continent.
