Adventure holidays in South Africa
Adventure means different things to different people and in a country as vast and diverse as South Africa, it really does take on many different forms. Self drive tours give you a real sense of freedom on your adventure holiday in South Africa while camping really immerses you in the African bush, surrounded by wildlife. Stay with Zulu communities or learn to surf; and come face to face with the Big Five in Kruger or with great white sharks off the Cape Town coast.
