Central South Africa is a melting pot of cultures, landscapes and adventure. Terrain ranges from flat plains and lush valleys to rocky outcrops, bush veld and mountains. As a result, activities range from leisurely hiking to rugged mountain climbing. The numerous dams and rivers provide the full spectrum of water sports including wind surfing, river rafting, fishing and canoeing.
Adrenalin junkies can get their fix with any number of bungee jumping, abseiling, paragliding, microlighting, skydiving and hot-air ballooning opportunities, not to mention the 4x4, quad bike and motorcycle trails. Activities more traditionally associated with the interior of South Africa include game viewing and bird watching, but the region also surprises with wine routes, underground mine tours and forest canopy tours. If you so choose, you can even ride an ostrich or explore the mountains of Lesotho on ponies.
For a more relaxing time, the wide open spaces of the Free State plains and the majesty of the Drakensberg Mountains are perfect for dissolving stress, fostering inner calm and instilling peace. Luxury resorts have spas for an abundance of pampering. Fly-fishing, walks and bird watching encourage travellers to get back to nature, while museums, galleries and famous historic and archeologically important sites make for interesting and informative outings.
Whether you want to discover your soul in the Free State, test yourself on the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg Mountains or get to grips with the rugged Karoo, you need to visit Central South Africa. It’s the land of possibility.
