AAre you tired of the same old holidays? Holidays where you check into a fancy hotel, sip champagne by the pool or indulge in buffet lunches and dinners?
Why not let your next holiday be nature filled with thrill-seeking activities that will leave you with an adrenaline high. 

Here are reasons why you should take an adventure holiday:
See things in a new perspective: A boat cruise may sound fun, but what would be even better is diving with 

sharks at Aliwal Shoal down the South Coast in KwaZulu-Natal. Or perhaps swap a tour for ziplining or paragliding. Seeing a new place from another perspective is how travellers are getting worthwhile experiences. Gone are the days when they will merely visit a few well-known attractions and chill by their hotel. Travellers want more meaningful trips that will get their heart racing. 

Did You Know?
SSouth Africa offers 2 700km of coastline, making it a world-class destination for adventure activities like climbing, surfing, diving, mountain biking and river rafting, to name but a few.

DDo something out of your comfort zone: Nothing challenges someone more than doing something that they have never done before. Whether it’s hiking up Table Mountain or camping at Royal Natal National Park, getting out of your comfort zone allows you to be fearless and take more risks when you travel. Besides, an adventure activity never hurt anybody!

Helps you to connect with new and different people: Whether it is the couple from Brazil who climbed Mount Everest or the guy who travelled the world on a budget, there are many stories to be heard when one embarks on an adventure activity. 
It is good for the gram: The saying goes: "If it is not on social media, it did not happen."

Posting your photographs online is a way to encourage others to travel and show off your adventures to your friends and family back home. So taking a video of you jumping off the Bloukrans Bridge or ziplining in Tsitsikamma would be a better choice than pictures of champagne glasses and fresh fruit on your luxury hotel balcony.
