Adrenalin Junkie Activities in Cape Town and Western Cape

Cape Town and the Western Cape make it to the top of most lists when visiting South Africa, and the province is one of the most beautiful in which to seek adrenaline related thrills.

Shark Cage Diving

Table Mountain, the lap of Cape Town, and the city’s most famous landmark, seems to set the scene as part of an effortlessly glorious landscape teeming with wild seas, mountains, effortless valleys that boast some of the most incredible wines, the arid spaces that make up the Little Karoo, the beauty of the Overberg, the litany of nature reserves and green spaces, and the wild West Coast that all combine to make this an adventurer’s ultimate destination.

And if you want to do extreme Cape, there is enough on your menu to ensure a rather long stay. Whether you are here simply to hike Cape Town or seek even greater thrills, the Mother City and the Western Cape are where it’s happening … Continued

Adrenalin Junkie Activities in Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga is often referred to as the ‘adventure capital’ of South Africa, and it is not hard to imagine that this paradise of lowveld, spectacular mountains, valleys, rivers, waterfalls and forests, set on the eastern borders of the country and including a portion of the Kruger National Park, serves as one of the Big 5 experiences of the world and a riveting outdoor activity experience … Continued

Adrenalin Junkie Activities in Limpopo

Think Limpopo and it brings to mind images of Africa’s true nature – that part of the country that is practically out of reach of civilisation, and largely unchanged by man and his needs. Limpopo is the land of baobabs, seething hot days, the mountains of the Waterberg, the Soutpansberg, and bushveld plains peppered with thorn trees. It is where one comes to view game in its rightful place, where animals can once again reign supreme. This is the great north.

Large areas of conservation differentiate the Limpopo from most other provinces, where adrenalin seekers find a realm of untouched nature that offers endless opportunities in the wild. If it’s untamed bushveld and wilderness you are after, then the home of the mystical and fabled rain queen, Modjadji, and the treasures of a rich cultural heritage are where you will find them … Continued

Adrenalin Junkie Activities in the North West

Elephant Back Safaris

Elephant Back Safaris

The North West Province is the playground of Gauteng, an outdoor adventure waiting to happen. So close to Gauteng it is virtually on its doorstep, it is regarded as outdoors country with a climate to match, and often described in terms of its flatness, smattering of trees and grasslands – it’s the natural habitat of the black and white rhino.

But the stars of the province are undoubtedly the Magaliesberg and the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, which boasts lion, leopard, black and white rhino, elephant and buffalo. And there are also dams, rivers, cliff faces and plenty of sunshine just awaiting discovery.

Hartbeespoort Dam alone is one of the major reasons Gautengers leave their province every weekend to while away time on its shores in a myriad of water sports, or head off for the weekend to the Madikwe Game Reserve for a taste of the Limpopo closer to home, without the fear of malaria. Continued
