Adventures and Sports

Golf:

Southern Africa is the perfect destination for the enthusiastic golfer and those who love activity holidays! Here you find a variety of first-class golf courses, each with its own distinctive feature and incredible settings. Most are designed by top golfers. Have you ever played on a golf course and been interrupted by a curious giraffe, or even a hippo... or a crocodile? It’s the perfect combination of sports and adventure!

There are too many golf courses to mention, but some of the most popular are Steenberg Golf Course, Arabella, Fancourt, Sun City and Leopard Creek.

Hot Air Ballooning:

Hot air ballooning in Africa is arguably the best way to take in the landscapes of this beautiful continent. Floating high above the ground, you have a spectacular, uninterrupted view of the gorgeous countryside below. Described as a somewhat magical experience, a hot air balloon ride is one of the oldest forms of flight known to man. Nowadays tailored to meet the needs of the public, hot air ballooning in Southern and East Africa has become a highly sought after activity.

Gently lift off the ground to a height and leisurely float along with the wind. The panoramic views that you are privy to from this height leave many speechless as they witness the sunrise and the spreading light extending to the opposite horizon. It’s a magnificent experience and will leave you with a warm glow for weeks after.

Hot Air Ballooning Destinations – to mention a few:

South Africa : Hot Air Ballooning in the Magaliesberg, Pilanesberg, Hazyview, Winelands in the Western Cape…

Kenya...in the Masai Mara

and the latest addition – Hot Air Ballooning over the Okavango Delta

White Shark Cage Diving:

Getting into the cage with the sharks around, is truly one of the most breathtaking adventure tourism activities you will ever live to remember. When feeding actively around the boat, the sharks may occasionally brush their tail against the cage. They are very curious though and often come close-up to the cage, taking a closer look at the diver. A personal, eye-to-eye encounter with this awesome animal, is guaranteed to get the adrenaline going!

Bungee Jumping:

If you love adventure holidays, this is the ultimate thrill! You may wish to hover 111m over the mighty Zambezi River at the Victoria Falls – or - as if this is not high enough - in South Africa you will find the highest commercially operated Bungee Jump in the world – at 216m! Typically, bungee jumping involves leaping from jumping points that are several hundred feet or meters high. The elastic cord used in this activity is designed to stretch during the jumper's fall and snap back up repeatedly. This causes the jumper to bounce up and down over the length of the jumping area until the energy from the jump has been depleted. Sound like your ‘cup of ‘thrill’?

Mountain Biking:

For the more energetic traveller – a different mode of transportation to explore part of the Southern African continent – would be a bike tour.

These range from a one day outdoor adventure –cycling in the famous Cape Winelands - to a few days outdoor adventure. Choose between various options to suit your fitness level. South Africa's Garden Route is one of the best regions that offers numerous opportunities and various mountain biking trails. Take a ride on the wild side!
