There’s no doubt that a safari is one of the top things to do in South Africa, yet this world in one country is filled with exciting adventures to suit every taste.
These are the top rated attractions and activities in South Africa for those who’d like to try something other than a southern African Safari:
Caves and Culture
At Kagga Kamma you can sleep in a cave by night and explore the terrain on a quad bike or go in search of ancient San art when the sun comes out.
Hiking Highs
Head out on the Chokka trail among the gorgeous St Francis Bay, Cape St Francis and Oyster Bay landscapes to see wetlands, dunes and fynbos along this 62 kilometer wilderness trail.
Fancy a four-legged adventure? The Baviaans Trail is a 93 kilometer horseback trail winding through the Wilderness Reserve and Baviaanskloof Mountains. If preferred, you can tackle this scenic adventure on foot instead.
Get Down to Earth
Why not skip the luxury safari tent in favor of a traditional Venda village? African Traditional Homestays specialize in authentic cultural experiences. You’ll get to interact with the local community, learn about arts and crafts and brush up on your folklore. Another cultural indulge is The Workshop Ko Kasi which offers wellness with a difference. This Kuruman spa offers a host of healing, detoxifying and ecotourism activities to help you reconnect with Mother Earth in a pristine natural setting.
The Best of Both Worlds
If you simply can’t resist the lure of a safari adventure, you can combine it with a beach stay in Port Alfred at Oceana Beach and Wildlife Reserve. Here, you’ll find that a 7 kilometer long beach combined with daily game drives are the perfect solution for those who want it all.
Wildlife with a Difference
Take your seaside excitements a little further with safari charters out into Port Elizabeth’s Algoa Bay where you can see whales, dolphins, and marine birds. If that’s too tame for you, you can always try a spot of shark cage diving among the Great White sharks in the area.
