The Ride of Your Life – 5 Great Rides to Try on South Africa Holidays

With all the diversity it has to offer – natural, ethnic and cultural – there’s just so much to see on South Africa holidays. Even better, there are so many different ways to see it all! Whether it’s by land, by sea or by air, every ride you go on in your South Africa holidays will certainly be a unique experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Here are just a few suggestions for the most memorable rides in South Africa.

1. The Table Mountain Cable Car. Definitely the first thing on the “must-do” list of any visitor on South Africa holidays, is a trip to Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain on the rotating cable cars for a breathtakingly view of Cape Town and its environs. The spectacular views don’t end with the ride – it’s only the beginning. Once you reach Table Mountain, look around, there are even more wonderful sights to see.

2. Yacht/ Cruise. Nothing spells luxury quite like a cruise or a ride on a yacht. And nothing shows off the uniqueness of South Africa more than a view from the sea. Being bounded by two oceans, the Rainbow Nation is uniquely gifted with wonderful sailing for the sea-loving visitor on South Africa holidays. Whether it’s a one-hour sightseeing cruise from the V&A Harbour, or a five-day luxury cruise with stops at the major ports, you’ll certainly agree that it’s one amazing ride!

3. Canoe/Raft/Kayak. If your taste leans towards the adventurous, and if excitement is what you’re looking for in your water rides, the big, fast rivers, such as the Umkomaas, Umzimkulu, Mooi River, Umgeni, Thukela, Buffalo and Pongola rivers flowing across the Zulu Kingdom and the lakes of Maputaland, Lake St Lucia, Lake Sibaya and the Kosi system might be just what you’re looking for to get your thrills on your South Africa holidays. Whether you prefer white water rafting at top speed or leisurely paddling to enjoy the wildlife sharing the water with you, you’re never starved for choices on how to explore the different bodies of water in South Africa.

4. Bicycle. If the bicycle is your vehicle of choice, you’ll certainly love South Africa! Holidays here can provide you with the most amazing tours you can ever experience on two wheels. Take an unforgettable mountain bike tour through the tougher trails of the Drakenberg Mountains, or a slow, easy route through the rolling Cape Winelands. There’s certainly a vast array options for the cycling enthusiast in South Africa.

5. Hot Air Balloon. Imagine never-ending panoramas for miles and miles around you as you float through the skies on the gentle wind, sipping champagne watching the sun as it rises. For the many who’ve tried it, hot-air ballooning is one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences on South Africa holidays. It’s a peaceful yet awe-inspiring experience and safe for people of almost all ages. Popular spots for hot air ballooning are Magaliesberg, Sabie and Hazyview in Mpumalanga, and the Cape Midlands.

Those are just five of the most thrilling and memorable rides of your life awaiting you on South Africa holidays. There’s others, of course, such as rides on ostriches, elephants and more, but definitely, the most important one you’ll ever take is the one that gets you there!
