👍👍 I saw them land one morning on the grass at Sea Point and added a tandem paragliding to my bucket list. Tick ✅ done. Wow, what an experience. It was a gift for my 57th birthday.

👍👍 I went to The Diamond Shoppe in 2018 to design a ring for my fiancé. After visiting various jewelers all over Cape Town, I can say without any doubt they are the best in all of Cape Town. Their shop is classy with stunning views, their service is superb, and their prices are unbeatable. Cara, one of...

Dirty Boots Adventure Guide - The best adventures in South Africa

👍👍 Dirty Boots have got adventure tourism in Southern Africa totally tied down. Their publication is essential reading for anyone planning to tackle activities in South Africa, Swaziland (Kingdom of Eswatini) and Lesotho and their website is an incredible resource for those that can't get the physical...

LION’S HEAD CAPE TOWN
Hiking area
👍👍 Love this trail. Did it a couple of times now and really enjoy hiking up especially the upper part where you rather "climb". Running down is super fun so with a normal fitness it takes 45min up and running down half the time. You can buy some water/drinks at the truck parked on the bottom in the par...

Hely-Hutchinson Reservoir (1898)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 An absolute gem of a place. This should beTHE hiking spot for locals and tourists alike. The hike from skeleton gorge is not the easiest but should be fine for MOST hikers. The hike from the other side (Bakhoven/Pipe Track) might be a bit more of an adventure for the seasoned hiker. Either way you g...

👍👍 What an amazing experience! Definitely worth the cost, if you’re hesitant on this. The entire team was amazing! From sign up to actually taking off, and landing too. My instructor, Roeland, was the best - we got up there SO HIGH! You’re allowed to keep your mask on too, which is great.
