Tourist activities following a hunt in South Africa
As a family enjoying a holiday in South Africa, there is so much to do and see in this vibrant rainbow nation! From beaches and culture to adventure and bush, South Africa is the perfect family holiday destination with a wide range of activities to enjoy and experience:
- Northern Cape: The Northern Cape’s varied attractions take full advantage of the province’s wide-open land and expanses of nothingness. Once the game hunting is packed up, head to Sutherland and experience South Africa’s Largest Telescope (SALT). A prime spot for those looking to enjoy the beauty of the stars above that rich safari hunting land. One of the more well-known attractions is the Big Hole, located in the Kimberley region, where visitors can experience the largest hand-dug mining site in the world.
- Western Cape: Apart from the incredibly beautiful landscapes, this iconic area offers fun attractions like the Cango Ostrich Farm, where visitors receive a message from the birds themselves, as well as the Cango Caves, the largest cave system in South Africa.
- Eastern Cape: The EC region offers attractions ranging from those exploring the province’s rich history and natural beauty, to those seeking adrenaline. If you find yourself and your hunting adventure not too far from the main city of Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), it’s not too long a drive before you reach the seaside mecca that is Jeffrey’s Bay, a great place to wash off the dust.
- KwaZulu-Natal: KZN’s famous Umgeni River area is home to the Valley of 1000 Hills, an attraction that takes full advantage of some of the province’s lushest land. The area brings boating, fishing, and even plane tours to the public, but the best way to experience this area is by the 1000 Hills Choo Choo, a historic steam–train–powered tourist experience. For those looking to take full advantage of South Africa’s warm climate, visit the Golden Mile strip of beachfront coast as well as the iconic uShaka Marine World.
- Mpumalanga: While the whole Blyde River Canyons is an attraction on its own, specific locations along the way include God’s Window, where, on a clear day, one can see to the Lebombo Mountains bordering Mozambique.
- Limpopo: A combined experience for birding enthusiasts and water lovers, the Fundudzi River and Thathe Vondo Forest region is well worth a visit.
- Free State: South Africa’s largest dam, the Gariep, is surrounded by a host of various accommodation facilities, from caravan parks and campsites to luxury resorts and chalet-style options. The area is famous for its array of activities, including traditional favorites like fly fishing, rafting, and horseback trails centered on the dam and its awesome scenery.
- Gauteng: Something to thrill everyone, especially the youngsters, is Gold Reef City, South Africa’s most famous amusement park. A truly South African experience is Vilakazi Street in Soweto, the only street worldwide to have raised two Nobel Prize winners, namely Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
- North West: One of the best ways to experience the North West is the iconic Hartbeespoort Cableway, the longest aerial cable car ride in Africa. This famous cableway showcases the wonders of both the Magaliesberg Mountains and Hartbeespoort Dam. For those looking to enjoy a little luxury, the place to go is South Africa’s famous Sun City resort.
