Sports
Due to the number of options, we’ll offer just a few suggestions.
Sports are chiefly mountain-orientated like hiking, trail running, mountain biking and climbing or water/ocean-orientated, like surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, fishing and sailing. South Africa is also a golf, rugby, cricket and motorsport nation. Be sure to ask us about the different sport options available.
