Father’s Day is just around the corner, and it’s time to show how much we appreciate dad. This year, instead of buying him the usual tie or watch, why not go for a unique and memorable gift – like an adventure holiday! We’ve got so many adventures right in our backyards across South Africa! Nothing is quite as exciting as exploring a new destination and trying new activities, especially when you’re doing it with your dad. We’ll highlight some of the best adventure activities that South Africa has to offer, making it the perfect destination for your Father’s Day gift.
Cape Town is a hub of outdoor activities and adventure experiences, and there are many opportunities for adventure holidays in the area. Some of the must-do activities include hiking up Table Mountain, abseiling down the mountain, surfing in Muizenberg, mountain biking in Tokai Forest or kayaking in Simon’s Town. Another ideal activity you can do with your dad is exploring the beautiful Cape Peninsula and stopping off at places like Boulders Beach to see the African penguins. For something more relaxed, take a leisurely bike ride through the beautiful winelands.
If you’re really looking for something extra special, book an Africamps experience or a weekend away with our many Cape Town packages, suited for every kind of dad. 
Johannesburg may be known for its urban buzz, but it also offers many incredible outdoor activities and adventure experiences. If you and your dad are adrenaline junkies, make a plan to visit the Orlando Towers in Soweto for bungee jumping, abseiling, or take on the giant swing. Learn a new skill together by taking a pottery or glass-blowing class at the nearby Hartbeespoort Dam. Other activities to explore include hot air ballooning over the Magaliesberg Mountains, mountain biking in the Cradle of Humankind, and game drives in the Kruger National Park. Or simply take your dad out on a getaway close by with our Joburg and surrounds travel packages. 
Durban is the perfect destination for a beach-loving dad. Try a surf lesson at Umhlanga Rocks or go deep-sea fishing with the family. For an adrenaline-fuelled activity, try the Big Rush Swing, the tallest swing in the world, or bungee jump off the Moses Mabhida Stadium. Take a day trip to the stunning Oribi Gorge or explore the nearby Drakensberg Mountains.

From forest canopy tours and bungee jumping in Tsitsikamma to kayaking and SUP boarding in the Knysna Lagoon, the Garden Route is an adventure lover’s paradise. Take a scenic drive down the coastal road and stop at the various towns along the way. Go whale watching in Hermanus or explore the underground beauty of the Cango Caves.
