Animal action
South Africa has the wonderful weather and beautiful landscape to thank for the abundance of outdoor activities on offer. There is really something to keep everyone busy. The breathtaking mountains, forests and beaches are perfect for traditional activities like hiking, cycling and horse riding. But South Africa is growing as an adventure destination and visitors can engage in activities that are more extreme. 
Extreme action
Southern Africa now boasts the highest bungee jump, gorge swing and single drop abseil in the world. Zipline tours, involving speeding down a cable suspended high above the ground, is becoming a South African speciality. Then there’s canyoning, tubing, quad biking, skydiving and countless other thrills that can faciliate as many adrenalin fixes as the body can cope with. 
Leisure adventures
South Africa’s coastline is also a treat for water babies. There are countless surfs spots and just as many locals willing to share their knowledge with visiting surfers. Kite surfing and wind surfing equipment is availabe to hire in the windier destinations. Divers can come face to face with a prowling shark, either in the cage or not. Sodwana Bay is a favourite amongst scuba divers and snorkellers for its unspoilt coral reefs, warm water and diversity of fish and invertebrates. |
