Adventure (UK)

DDuration: Four days

Area: Green Kalahari (Northern Cape)

Itinerary: The Green Kalahari is a playground for adventurers. Visitors can fly into Upington before taking a 90-minute drive to Augrabies Falls National Park. This area is great for activities including hiking, horse-riding and offroad driving. Mountain biking through the dramatic terrain is a must, and canoeing down the mighty Orange River is true bucket-list material.

DDuration: Three days

Area: Drakensberg Mountains (KwaZulu-Natal)

Itinerary: Just arriving at the Drakensberg, the country’s highest mountain range, is an adventure. These peaks scrape the sky and is a prime location for rock-climbing and abseiling. One of the best ways to take in the scenery is to zip along the tree tops on a canopy tour, and see the flora and fauna from a unique perspective. If more terrestrial activities are in order, there’s amazing quad biking and horse riding on offer.

DDuration: Three days

Area: North-west Province

Itinerary: The North West province is a hidden gem for adventure travel in South Africa. Visitors can drive there from Johannesburg, and soon find themselves sailing over the Magaliesburg in a hotair balloon. The region also has some of the most thrilling ziplining in the country, as well as parasailing and skydiving.
