Adventures & Sport

South Africa is without a doubt the adventurer and sports-lover’s paradise. With its vast coastline, majestic mountain ranges, grassy plains and semi-deserts, there is no African country that offers a greater variety of activities:

  • Canoeing and white water rafting, shark diving or the highest bungee jump in the world will challenge true adrenaline junkies
  • Take a historic flight in a vintage aircraft, hang glide, sky-dive, paraglide or fly in a hot air balloon through the blue skies of South Africa
  • Scuba and snorkelling playgrounds range from tropical reefs to icy kelp forests and several sailing and surfing spots are rated amongst the best in the world
  • You could also experience South Africa on foot, hiking through large areas of diverse scenery not accessible by vehicle or stalking big game in the numerous game reserves
  • Traverse the landscape by mountain bike, on horse or elephant back
  • River trips range from mostly scenic to grade five white water washing machines
  • Up in the air, there are many opportunities for helicopter rides, gliding and micro-light flights

Rafting & Canyoning

White water rafting in the Blyde Canyon and Olifants Gorge, canoeing the Orange River or paddling the tranquil waters of the Breede River, canyoning or kloofing are some of the best experiences in Southern Africa.

Abseiling

In Cape Town you'll find developed sites on the peninsula chain - big naturally protected multi-pitch routes to short, bolted sport crags. You can hang out high over Cape Town abseiling from Table Mountain.

Scuba Diving & Snorkelling

The Garden Route offers various reefs and shipwrecks and the Tsitsikamma and the Wild Coast are renowned for their rugged scenery, good spear fishing and delicious seafood. South Africa has an enormously long coastline ranging from about 35°S to 27°S, which isn't quite within the usual range of tropical diving.

Bungee Jumping

Feel your heart beat at the Gouritz River bridge for bungee jumping or bridge swinging or at the Bloukrans River Bridge, the highest commercial bungee jump in the world, on the border of the Eastern and Western Cape, at 216 meters, it's not for the faint of heart.

Shark Diving

Surfing

Surf the Nahoon Reef in East London or move to the world-renowned Jeffrey’s Bay – ‘Surfer’s Paradise’ - surfing spots.

The Cape Peninsula offers a large collection of surf spots in and around Cape Town with loads of great, virtually un-surfed waves.

Fishing

The South Western coast with the tropical Agulhas current, as well as the nutrient-rich, cool Benguela current, is any fisherman's haven.

The Wild Coast is known for an abundance of rock lobster, prawn, oyster and abalone, regular catches include yellow fin tuna, kawakawa, dorado, wahoo, marlin and king mackerel.

Hiking

Thousands of kilometres of hiking trails wind around the country in desert, forest, mountain or coast.

Explore the unique coastal scenery, tidal pools, thick forest and river mouths in the Tsitsikamma National Park on the exclusive Dolphin Trail, The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park with its sheer cliffs, deeply incised valleys and crystal clear rivers or the Cedarberg Wilderness Area, renowned for its unique rock formations, bushman paintings, fynbos, birds, game and magnificent nature.
