Adventure:

You’ve landed in adventure heaven. Whatever your particular preference, there is bound to be an adventure to keep you happy. We have some of the best climbing in the world. Our two oceans offer fantastic diving, surfing and sea kayaking.

River trips range from mostly scenic to grade five white water washing machines. There are over a hundred listed paragliding or hang gliding launch sites.

Thousands of kilometres of hiking trails wind around the country, in desert, forest, mountain or coast, and many have mountain bike trails adjacent. There are wonderful easy horse trails through vineyards, on the beach or in the mountains and, for the adventurous, horseback safaris in big game country.

We have the highest commercial bungy jump in the world, lots of pretty abseiling and bridge swinging. For something combining adrenalin, peace, tranquility, and sheer beauty, try the tree-top canopy tour in Tsitsikamma. The art of canyoning, known as kloofing in South Africa, is a hot favourite with self-guided and escorted trips.

For such a sunny country, we even have reasonable skiing.
