A well-established structure that organizes cage dives as close as possible to the great white. Thrills guaranteed! Beyond that, it's possible to join their 10-day expeditions. The company maintains an ethical approach to sharks, an endangered species that it intends to help conserve and protect. Too many films have harmed sharks, particularly the great white shark. Between 150 and 200 million of them are slaughtered every year. An experience like the one offered by White Shark Projects allows you to get up close and personal with these endangered species in a totally respectful way. Departures from Kleinbaai depend on the tide, but be prepared for early morning departures. A transfer from Cape Town can be arranged during the day, departing at around 4 a.m. for a two-hour drive.The boat stays at sea long enough for everyone (max. 18 people) to enjoy the diving. You don't need to be a certified diver; you just stay in the water during the shark's passage, and the cage is not completely submerged. If you're not sure, you can stay on the boat, where you can also watch the sharks from the upper deck.The swell is quite strong, which can turn even the most fragile stomachs inside out, but the spectacle is still impressive. On the way back, you can use the bathroom for a hot shower. Snack cakes, tea and coffee are still available for divers. It's time to share your emotions with your companions.

The office is accessible from the Warterfront, here Tigger 2 offers, among other things, a one and a half hour cruise to see the sunset with a privileged view, the "Sunset Cruise". We then board a nice motorboat to get some fresh air at sea. A glass of sparkling wine and snack sofas are part of the trip. You also have the possibility to rent the boat for a romantic cruise for two, or choose the Lunch Cruise or Dinner Cruise to enjoy the open sea.

An unforgettable experience to discover Table Mountain and Cape Town from the air. Without doubt one of the most beautiful destinations for a helicopter flight. We fly over a splendid city, nestled between Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles and the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, the magnificent beaches of Camps Bay or Clifton. There is a combined package with the Ocean Experience team that continues the ride in the air with a trip to the sea. A different view of the city, but above all a meeting with dolphins, seals, whales..

This stadium, which has been completely rebuilt, is the most important one because it hosted the opening match and the World Cup final! One of the most artistic stadiums, the design is inspired by the calabash, an African pitcher.

Close to Soweto, it is a symbol for the millions of black people who live in this township. Nelson Mandela gave one of his most famous speeches there when he was released from prison in 1990. It was here again that South Africa won the historic 1996 African Nations Cup final against Tunisia.

Marine safaris of one day or two. Strong sensations guaranteed: face face with a huge shark (you are reassured, you are in a cage). A very serious and very pro centre. From 1 350 R per person. 

Quite simply the highest bungee jump in the world from a bridge in the Guinness Book of Records! The access to the jumping point is spectacular: breathtaking views of the ocean and the gorge separating the Western Cape from the Eastern Cape, loud music, the vibrations at each passing car and a hell of a team, always with a smile on their face. Everything is checked several times before each jump, 100% safety. Photo and video of your exploit available at the end of your session. Just for the scenery, we go for it and go for it!

Shark Africa chose Mossel Bay because of the abundance of its underwater fauna. Indeed, on this southern coast of the country, and at the level of the famous Garden Route which attracts many travellers every year, the waters are full of fish, but also contain seals, penguins, whales during the season, killer whales, dolphins, and especially the one that interests the house: the white shark. Then, at certain times of the year, it is possible to dive in a cage to observe, with luck, a great white shark. An unforgettable experience.

Around Kosi Bay, there are several day walks, even without a guide, which are offered from the camp. Walking in the direction of the mouth, one will see the fishermen with their fish kraals, especially on the lake Makhawulani. At night, on the coast of Kosi Bay, the sand appears phosphorescent. The Mozambican border is a few kilometers from here, at the place called Ponta Do Ouro, where you can make a stopover if you feel like it. It is a Mecca for ocean and surf enthusiasts, as well as for scuba divers.

You have to wake up early, before the sun, to be on time at the meeting point, but already a hot chocolate is waiting for you. Watch the huge balloons inflate before boarding your flight over the Magaliesberg massif. The silence, the height, the grandeur, it's magical up there. On arrival, a glass of champagne will be served to you and back at the penthouse, a gargantuan breakfast is prepared for you to recover from your emotions. An unforgettable experience!

Ballesteros, Nicklaus and many others came here to compete in the Million Dollars Challenge. The Gary Player Country Club is a superb golf course sometimes crossed by the Pilanesberg monkeys. Built on the site of an extinct volcano, it is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, designed by the expert pen of Gary Player. This golf course hosts the Nedbank Golf Challenge. A shop and a bar on site. Tip: Go to the clubhouse and from its restaurant enjoy the view of the golf course and the mountains. It's beautiful!

Nestled on a large artificial lake of 1.3 million cubic meters: the Waterworld. Indeed, all water sports are available in front of the Cabanas Hotel. On the program, there is parasailing for the most daring, water skiing, windsurfing for the passionate, catamaran, jet-ski, an inflatable snake to go quietly, or even rowing for those who like to take it easy! The park is accessible to all without reservation, but by paying for the activities for which you will be tempted.

At the foot of the high towers of the Palace of the Lost City, here is the most delirious nautical complex on the planet: 23 million litres of water in circulation, two underground slides, a wave pool almost 2 m high for surfers, not forgetting the white sandy beach? We spend a beautiful day in an atmosphere worthy of our crowded beaches in August: entertainment for young - and old - children, doughnuts for gourmets when it's time for a snack, and no time to rest: loud music!

Coffeebeans Route offers unique cultural themed outings: jazz, reggae, hip-hop, football, art, storytelling, cooking, private gardens... The principle is the same for all outings: daytime or evening when music is involved. In small groups through lively places in the city known to the locals, two or three different places per outing, often in the vibrant townships. Real jazz clubs or dance halls in the townships, or a football with young people from Khayelitsha... An original and unique experience.

On Hopwood Street, you can stop by Ocean Safaris to get your curiosity up and choose the experience of your dreams. The Plett office offers boat trips to watch whales in winter and dolphins in summer. These are completely unique experiences that you will have. If you are lucky, you will remember for the rest of your life the whale that came to greet you under the boat's hull and the jump in the air a little further away, or, depending on the season, the magnificent schools of dolphins.

Notice to adventurers and nature sport enthusiasts. Abseil Africa is an agency specialized in climbing and canyoning. The aficionados of canyoning will find their happiness in a 65 m high waterfall. You can also opt for a descent of Table Mountain: 112 m abseiling along the "Kamikaze Kanyon", a breathtaking vertical space, and above all a breathtaking panoramic view from Table Mountain. The magnificent ocean on one side, the mountain of the Twelve Apostles on the other, your heart beating, what a great experience!

To ride a horse and enjoy the beautiful landscape of the region in a different way. Here is a good idea! Once at the Paradise Stables, we meet our future guide and fellow rider, Pieter Hugo. He was a member of the national team of endurance riders. Rides are available for beginners as well as for advanced riders. How about a 4.5 hour horseback ride through vineyards, forests and mountains, stopping for a little wine tasting at Rickety Bridge and Mount Rochelle?

At African Dive Adventures, Roland invites you to experience diving with wild sharks in their natural environment. Blacktip, tiger, bull shark and great white. There is also a wide variety of reef fish, rays and morays. They are the pioneers of diving on Protea Banks, they also offer diving trips to other reefs. An experienced level is required for some of the dives when it comes to deep dives between 32 and 38 meters, often with current.

At Plettenberg airfield. Our favourite address on the coast, for its welcome and especially for its "landing on the beach" option: Skydive Plettenberg. The wind being less important than in Cape Town, it is much easier to book in peace and quiet here, without being afraid to have your jump cancelled due to bad weather. The area offers incredible scenery and the views of the Indian Ocean are breathtaking. Let yourself be tempted by the adventure and take off for a tandem jump at 10,000 feet high!
