Hiking & Adventure Seekers

South Africa is a country that offers a wide range of high-adrenaline activities for tourists. One of the most popular is shark cage diving in Gansbaai, where you can get up close and personal with great white sharks.

Skydiving in Durban is another thrilling option, offering breathtaking views of the coast.

Sandboarding in Atlantis Dunes is also a must-try for the adventure seekers, sliding down the sand dunes on a board.

Not too far north, Scuba diving in Saint-Lucia offers an opportunity to explore the rich marine life of the Indian ocean. If you are looking for a challenge, hiking the highest mountain of Lesotho, Thabana Ntlenyana is a great way to test your endurance and experience the natural beauty of Lesotho. And for those who prefer water-based activities, white-water rafting on the Blyde River. Canyon is a great option, or for a more relaxed adventure, blackwater tubing in the Storms River.

Whatever your preference, there's something for everyone in South Africa, so come and experience the thrill for yourself!

 TRAVEL TIPS

• Take some entertainment for down time in safari camps – smartphone games, iPad apps, books, colouring stuff, playing cards, etc.
• Pack a small rucksack for each child to use as a day pack, great for taking in vehicles or planes.
• Be adventurous, children are more robust than you think and families often really enjoy simple fly camping and walking.
• Don’t rush – we advise at least three nights per safari camp – and don’t try to do too much on one family holiday.
