With over 16 million visitors in 2018, it’s no wonder visitors flock to the country to experience the celebrity beaches, abundant game (of course we are home to the Big 5), extreme adventures, early fossils, spectacular landscapes, vibrant cultures and delicious cuisine.

Not only this (yes, we’ll keep blowing our own horn), South Africa is also an adrenaline-junkie’s dream destination. There is adventure waiting at every turn, wherever you go – it won’t be boring!

1. Great White shark Cage Diving, Hermanus

This is an adventure activity perfect for the family or couple in search of an adrenaline rush. It is an incredible experience and a wonderful opportunity to encounter this misunderstood and endangered creatures in their natural habitat. Great White Shark cage diving happens all year round and with sharks spotted all year long, visitors keep coming back for more unforgettable memories. Jaws left many of us skeptical but there are a number of reasons why it’s worth taking to the seas with the sharks (hint: conservation plays a role).

2. Abseiling, Table Mountain

Abseiling, also called rappelling, is available in most areas of South Africa. But if you’re looking for the best spot, Cape Town’s beloved Table Mountain has the  highest commercial abseil in the world.

The “long drop” is about a kilometre above the city and a thrill you won’t forget anytime soon.
