South Africa is famous for a number of things, its three capital cities, its wine, Nelson Mandela, its spectacular landscape of National Parks and of course, its incredible wildlife. From lions, rhinos and zebras to sharks, seals and penguins, South Africa is home to a plethora of amazing animals that make wildlife spotting experiences one of the top activities enjoyed here. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for an animal lover, then look no further than our impressive range of wildlife experience day gifts across South Africa that will leave them with memories for a lifetime. With great white shark cage diving in the ocean to an elephant safari through a national park, our animal encounters are hard to beat!
For that friend or family member who loves nothing more than getting active outdoors and trying different water sports, we have wildlife spotting experiences that combine animal encounters with a taste of canoeing, kayaking and parasailing. For those who’d like to see the marine life of the ocean, join a sea-kayaking tour of the Hermanus coastline, paddling through the Hermanus Marine Reserve to watch penguins and fur seals frolicking in the water. For views of spectacular South Africa scenery, join a sea-kayaking tour of Plettenberg Bay where you’ll launch from the stunning sandy beach to marvel at vistas of the magnificent Tsitsikamma mountains and see if you can spot the fur seals, bottlenose dolphins and whales that make the warm waters of the Indian Ocean here their home. If you desire a river adventure, then explore the wonderful Sundays River by canoe. This guided tour past the river’s luscious green riverbanks allows you to encounter some of South Africa’s land wildlife as you try to spot otters, vervet monkeys and kudus. For thrill-seekers, try out shark spotting parasailing experience in Mossel Bay. Soar high above this beautiful bay and see if you can glimpse those famous great whites from above while breath-taking aerial views of the Western Cape around you.
Those who prefer to sit back and relax during their wildlife excursions, hop on a fabulous boat tour in a range of locations. From high-speed RIB rides to luxury catamarans, there’s a boat trip for every desired pace. Go dolphin spotting in Plettenberg Bay, whale watching in Walker Bay or seal spotting in Mossel Bay’s marine eco-system.
