Adrenaline Adventure
Looking for a vacation with adventure, thrills and exciting activities? Then South Africa is definitely for you! South Africa is famous for Table Mountain, the mountain is a flat-topped mountain overlooking Cape Town. It is a beautiful landmark that people can take a cable car to the top of. Did you know that if you live in South Africa you can use the cable car for FREE on your birthday! We think that is fantastic!
Many people love the idea of abseiling down the mountain, hang gliding off of the mountain and hiking all along the mountain! You would be surprised how many people do these activities daily, so if you love the thrill then those experiences are for you!
