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 ...

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 ...

Adrenalin Junkie Activities in the North West

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.
