Africa camping safari is a wonderful way to enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors in the wild participating in game viewing and adventure activities in Africa.

African overland safaris will leave you with memories of a genuine safari experience; tracking wildlife including the Big Five in the wild, spending nights around camp fires and enjoying the companionship of fellow travelers.

It is only recently that abseiling, also called rappelling, has become a sport in its own right. It used to be the way climbers got off cliffs, cavers descended into the deep unknown of the world and military task-forces used for all kinds of maneuvers. Now it's a sport as well. 

It's basically taking the easiest part (and for most people the most fun part) of rock climbing and doing only that, skipping the ascent and just going down!

Abseiling has become very commercialized, so to the normal consumer it is stripped down to something very simple, however there is a lot more to abseiling than just lowering yourself safely down a rope. You wear a climbing harness, and are clipped onto the rope with one of many descending devices, with some high-tech name. 

You then lower yourself down the cliff or obstacle which you are descending by walking backwards, supported by the rope, enjoying the scenery (or wishing you were already at the bottom for some people). 

Most commercial abseils are belayed, which means that basically no matter what, nothing bad can really happen and you can always be lowered by the team-leader.

Rapp jumping:
This is something for the more adventurous type - it is abseiling back-to-front. Instead of the ropes being attached at your stomach, it's attached at your back, so you go down the cliff facing down. It is like walking (or running if you like) down a cliff, and "don't look down" is not an option, which makes the rush much bigger.

Canyoning, as it is called in most parts of the world, or Kloofing in South Africa, is a sport consisting of following a mountain stream up/down its course by climbing, sliding, jumping and swimming. 

The Cape mountains, warm climate, cold mountain water and hard quartz sandstone have come together to form the unique river gorges and valleys which make great kloofing possible. In South Africa the sport started in the Western Cape. 

By its very nature, kloofing takes place in a relatively high risk area, a river gorge, mostly where there are no development or roads, only you and nature. Seeing as the whole point of kloofing, really, is to leap over gorges and jump off waterfalls or cliffs into pools, with no help or first aid (or sometimes even cellphone coverage) it can be a very dangerous sport. 

One part of kloofing that's especially exciting for the adrenaline junkies is the fact that most kloofing or canyoning trips involve a point of no return, where you have to jump or stay stuck in the middle of nowhere. Some kloofs, or canyons, may also include a bit of scrambling and perhaps an abseil or two. 

If you really know what you're doing, you can do this on your own but kloofing is best done with a knowledgeable guide or at least someone who's done the river before. 

Mostly kloofing is a one-day trip up and down a river gorge, the multi-day trips are less popular, probably because most people can't climb and swim continually for more than one day.

Whether you’re interested in diving with great white sharks, whales, dolphins, around breathtaking coral reefs or in shipwrecks, South Africa has it all to offer. 
The water temperature in South Africa ranges from the cold in the Western Cape waters to the much warmer waters of Kwazulu Natal. 
The Mozambiquan current that flows down the eastern coast of South Africa brings warm tropical water down the coastline of Kwazulu Natal and so makes the waters ideal to spot all sorts of wildlife, from great white sharks to whales, whale sharks, dolphins, turtles, manta and eagle rays, and exquisite coral reefs too. 

Sodwana in Kwazulu Natal is home to the most southerly coral reefs in the world. When you come here to dive the wonderful reefs, do take note. A flight from sea level to Johannesburg can take only an hour, but with a gain of 2 000 metres (7 000ft) in altitude. This really is a major risk, so adjust your itinerary to include a day of sightseeing, shopping or beach lounging between diving and flying to Johannesburg. 
There are dive schools in almost every centre in the country, so you could almost dive anywhere on the coast.

Great White Sharks are the world's largest predatory fish, reaching over 6 metres (20 feet) in length. Armed with a lethal mouthful of serrated, razor-sharp daggers and powerful enough to launch their 1-ton bodies clear of the water, they are the ocean's top predator and are the most feared denizen of the sea to both sailors and sea creatures alike.

Their diet includes other sharks and marine mammals, including dolphins and Cape Fur Seals. At Shark Alley, the seals are in a constant state of fear for their lives. Normally, the Great White is a migratory predator, but with so many tasty seals hanging around.....why leave??? On occasion, natural predation can be seen from our boat when an unfortunate seal is seized .

Jeffreys Bay is world-renowned for its surfing spots
Supers Surfing
The waves here can get large ( up to about 10 - 12 feet). They are very fast, and as the name suggests, getting tubed is the name of the game. The sweel usually runs in the winter months. After having surfed Supers when its working, you will be stoked for years. 
Boneyards 
Boneyards is right next to Supers. You will be able to recognise it with ease, as it is the spot where the waves are breaking almost perfectly, but there are only one or two guys sitting out there.
Don't be fooled, this is a locals only break and they take it as a serious offence if you as an outsider decide to surf there.
Yeah, it may have the better wave, but that is the bonus of being a local at Jeffrey's Bay for quite some period of time.
Point
Point is situated further down the beach, towards the Kabeljous side. The waves here tend to be a little smaller than those at Boneyards and Supers. The difference is, that you will have a much longer ride here than at the other two.
This is also the place that the guys surf, when there is a competition on at Supers, and they either need to warm up, or are not surfing in the competitio

Just east of Cape Agulhas, Africa's southernmost point, lies the small coastal town of Struisbaai, arguably the capital of near-shore boat angling in the Western Cape, served by a small but functional harbour.

Frequented in season by many recreational ski-boat anglers, the huge shelf of the Agulhas Bank supports a wide variety of bottom-feeding as well as pelagic species, desirable both as sport and food fish.

Another favourite species is the kabeljou, or "kob", a fish similar to the American red drum. Favouring reefs surrounded by sand, this specie averages a similar size to the yellowtail.

A number of bottom feeding redfish species also occur in this area. The largest is the famous red steenbras which attains 150 lb but is commonly around 30 lb. 

Other popular redfish include the red stumpnose and the red roman, reaching 20 and 10 lb, respectively. As with most redfish, these species are all prized eating fish.

Wherever you go sea kayaking in South Africa, this beautiful country promises fantastic kayaking whilst exploring its beautiful terrains and marine life.

With our fantastically long and varied coastline, it's not surprising there are lots of great sea kayaking trips. In early June, southern right whales leave their Antarctic feeding ground to frolic in the (relatively) warm waters of the Cape coast. Here they mate, calve and generally hang out, occasionally flopping a tail up, or sticking their heads out of the water to check out the humans.

Largely similar to snowboarding, sand boarding is the art of standing with two feet locked onto a thin tensile board and sliding or carving arcs down a dune. 

The best part about sandboarding is that it is easy to learn while having tons of fun. It is a very accessible, four-season activity that does not require a huge investment in cold-weather gear - all you need are boots, bindings and a board. 

Sandboarding in South Africa is fast becoming widely accepted as a mainstream sport. There’s a growing number of adrenaline junkies who gladly spend hours on end hiking up endless sand dunes, and then board down at incredible speeds. 

For racing down the dunes, snowboards with a specialised base are used. The base is a lamination, which becomes even more slippery the more you ride it.

The peak whale watching season along the South African coast is from July through October when the southern right whale is resident along the Cape south coast and Humpback whales frequent the waters off Hermanus. 

Brydes whales can be seen off the South African coast year round, albeit further out. These gentle giants spend summer feeding around Antarctica and then migrate thousands of miles to our waters where the sheltered bays of the South African coast provide perfect refuge to mate and calve.

Whether you partake in shore or boat-based whale watching, a trip to the South African coast is unlikely to be forgotten soon.

The fabulous weather and flying conditions in South Africa means that it is a great place to learn to fly as you could complete all your required flights in a relatively short time. The exchange rate also means that it is much cheaper here than learning in Europe or North America.

For good gliding, you need one of two things: Either thermal winds or mountain ridges that force the air upward, creating lift. South Africa's coastal areas offer excellent ridges, and the country's flat interior offers great thermals on hot days.

In the right conditions, hang glider pilots can fly extermely far, simply by using air currents and thermals - The world record is just shy of 800 km! Many people think that all you do is glide down to the bottom of the mountain once you take off with a hang glider, but by using thermals you can soar for hours at a time.

South Africa's great weather and wild terrain means that it offers some of the best rock climbing in the world.

We have diverse rock formations, all with different features, right across the country: Limestone stalactites in Oudsthoorn; solid sandstone ledges in the Cedarberg; bolted sport climbing in the exquisite and well-developed Waterval Boven area; traditional climbing in the Free State, Mount Everest and Swinburne; hard overhangs at the famous Wave Cave at Shongweni near Durban; seaside cliff climbing at Morgan Bay; world class bouldering at Rocklands in the Cedarberg and remote multi-pitch trad/country climbing at Magaliesberg and the Drakensberg Mountains.

On Table Mountain there is a network of over 550 Walks and Hikes. Maps are available from the Info Centre at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Nature Conservation and the National Botanical Gardens. 

Some well-constructed footpaths exists, as well as picnic sites and the cableway. Some of the attractions that Table Mountain offers, are the spectacular setting of a mountain amidst a city, magnificent scenery and beautiful vistas to all corners, easily accessible wild areas, rich flora and indigenous forested kloofs. 

The Garden Route offers many smaller one day hiking trails & walks in awe-inspiring natural beauty, with mountains, valleys, lakes, forests, streams and beaches.

The Cradock and George Peaks Trail links the Montagu and Outeniqua passes, and can be walked either way. There is also a detour to Losberg peak. As its name implies, this koppie stands apart from the main range and provides a unique vantage point to view the town of George below. 

The trail is particularly lovely in winter, spring and early summer, when many of the fynbos species are in flower. The route is clearly marked.
