Caving

Where: Wild Caves, Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site (Gauteng) What to expect: Explore the seemingly endless world beneath your feat with a caving expedition.

Skydiving

Where: Johannesburg Skydiving Club, Carletonville (Gauteng) What to expect: Experience the freedom of flying! You’ll jump in tandem with an experienced skydiver from 11 000ft, free falling for 40 seconds at 200km per hour until your parachute is deployed and you’re drifting slowly to the ground below.

River Rafting

Where: Parys Rafting, Dimalachite, Parys (Free State) What to expect: Choose from mild to wild rafting in this part of the Vaal River that winds through bushy islands and cascades down many rapids.

Hot Air Ballooning

Where: Bill Harrop’s Original Balloon Safaris, Magalies River Valley (Gauteng) What to expect: You’ll need to be up bright and early (at least they serve tea/coffee and muffins) to experience this hour-long adventure. Hop aboard the balloon that'll be guided by an experienced pilot, and take in the wonder of the surrounding area from a bird’s eye view. Adventure level: ** Click here for more information

Laser Tag

Where: Black Ops Laser Tag, Randburg, Johannesburg (Gauteng) What to expect: If you’ve ever imagined yourself in a real-life video game, then you’ve got to give this live action combat simulation a try. It’s a mission-specific game that takes place in a Hollywood film set-worthy location – perfect for birthdays, team building or a day with a difference for a group of friends. Look out for their monthly Zombie Apocalypse where your team comes face to face with the living dead! Adventure level: ** Click here for more information
