Are adventure holidays your sort of thing? Do you enjoy the feeling of adrenaline coursing through veins? Do you like to scream your heart out for the ultimate thrill? Then you're in luck, because South Africa has recently become one of the most popular destinations to visit as a result of the myriad adventure tours that are offered here. South Africa is a diverse country with a varied landscape that ranges from sandy beaches to mountain forest to arid desert regions and everything in between. This allows for a spectacular array of tours and activities to be pursued. Whether you prefer your leisure time to be spent on land, in or on the water or in the air, there is sure to be an activity that will appeal to you. The following are the top adventure activities that are offered: • Quad biking: Whether you prefer to race across beach sand dunes or through spectacular forest areas, to do so from the saddle of a quad bike is a thrilling activity. One of the most appealing things about quad biking is that a license is not required in order to ride one. This means that people of all ages can enjoy this kind of riding (although some companies will not allow children under the age of 12 to partake). • Shark cage diving: With many areas along the coast being densely populated with Great White sharks there are ample opportunities to experience shark cage diving or watch them breaching. Sharks are mistakenly believed to be vicious, man-hunting creatures, but they are actually quite shy and timid. Cage diving offers the opportunity of viewing sharks in their natural habitat, but from the relative safety of being behind bars. • Jet flights: While many people suffer from a fear of heights and flying, there are some for whom hurtling through the air at death-defying speeds is the ultimate adrenaline thrill. Flying at Mach 2.2 speeds you will experience g-forces unlike any other, but without the life-threatening consequences usually associated with fighter jets. Cape Town is the only place in the world that offers this breathtaking activity, so be sure to experience it during your time in the fairest Cape. There are also some activity-specific adventure holidays in South Africa. Golf packages are very popular and you can play on some legendary greens around the country. Stay in luxury accommodation and enjoy pampering spa treatments after a long round of golf. Golf and safari packages have become very popular in recent months. These packages combine rounds of golf on select courses for the first part of the tour, and then a few days in a game park where safari drives, walking safaris and relaxing surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the African bush is the name of the game. Certain companies will also offer tours to other parts of the African continent. Countries such as Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania and Zanzibar offer spectacular scenery and a variety of tours, safaris and activities, as well as fabulous accommodation establishments in a variety of wilderness settings. Whether it is an adventure tour or team building activities that you are looking for, the African continent offers a stunning place to do it in. Whether you require accommodation, tours, and activities or are simply looking adventure, visit Africa for the best adventure holidays ever imagined.
