Gift Dad With An Experience Of A Lifetime

Joburg Admin / May 28, 2025

You got him socks and a watch last year. And new tools, as well as a personalised bottle of brandy the year before that. What do you gift a father that already has everything he wants and needs... or so he says? Well, why not consider giving him the gift of a thrilling experience he'll never forget? 

This year, gift Dad to an unforgettable experience this Father's Day. Something that he'll love and enjoy to the fullest. Yes, gifts are great, but one of the best things money can buy is an experience of a lifetime. We went in search of a few awesome experience gift ideas for every kind of dad. Most of these vouchers are valid for up to three years, depending on where you purchase from, so he can book this gift experience whenever he wishes.

Please note: Experience gift prices are subject to change at any given time. These product prices were correct at the time of writing (May 2025). Booking are essential.

Beginner Drifting Lessons at Redstar Raceway

With this experience, Dad will get the amazing opportunity to learn how to drift at RedStar Raceway. Definitely something he'd love to do if he loves cars, racing and adrenaline.

This drifting course is dedicated to introducing the most basic drift technique: the donut. Performing this maneuver entails rotating the rear or front of the vehicle around the opposite set of wheels in a continuous motion, this creates a circular skid-mark pattern of rubber and possibly even causing the tires to smoke from the friction. Once Dad has completed the beginner course, book the intermediate drifting course to practice controlling the car, while the tires are spinning and sliding instead of gripping.
