South Africa
When our African Safaris started back in the 60's, we visited South Africa for the Blue Train and the Garden Route - long before the wonderful camps of the Sabi Sand were built. EsplanadeTours now offers you a wide range of adventures in all price ranges that take you deep into the bush, up on Table Mountain, into the winelands, or down the Garden Route.
Our Five Stars Through Southern Africa Safari offers you a unique opportunity to get a small taste of everything this beautiful country has to offer.
ADVENTUROUS ADD-ONS FOR ANY SOUTH AFRICA ITINERARY:
Fly through the trees
A Treetop Canopy Tour will offer you a bird's eye view of the forest, and a bit of an adrenaline rush, as you slide through the trees on a strong steel cable. There are three Treetops tours: in the Tsitsikamma Forest, near Stormsriver; at Karkloof in KwaZulu-Natal; and off the edge of the Megaliesberg mountains. The scenery and bird life is spectacular and the professional guides provide interesting facts about the forest ecology during the two-three hour tour.
Great White Shark Safari
Depart before daybreak for Simonstown Harbor for a boat trip in search of the super predator of the oceans, the Great WhiteShark, with international shark experts Chris and Monique Fallows who have studied Great Whites since 1989. They were also the first to film the now famous Great Whites of False Bay in the rar act of 'breaching' (launching themselves out of the water) in their pursuit of the Cape Fur Seals that they hunt in this area. The best time to see Great Whites hunting is May to September.
Hot Air Ballooning over the Magaliesberg
The thrill of a balloon safari is indescribable. Imagine sipping fine champagne while hovering gently above the treetops of the beautiful Magalies River Valley, or drifting majestically high above the Magaliesberg Range. After landing , savor a delectable champange ballooning breakfast.
