Active vacation in South Africa - things to do, entertainment and nightlife
South Africa can offer tourists a variety of adventures to meet the most sophisticated taste. Many South African agencies and companies offer tourists a unique opportunity to ride a boat on the river among giant menacing hippos or go kayaking on the water full of fast and dangerous crocodiles. Thrill seekers will definitely appreciate diving with great white sharks. Daredevils are immersed in the waters of the open ocean in an unbreakable cage where these ferocious sea killers swim, attracted by a bloody piece of meat or fish. This kind of entertainment for people with strong nerves can be found on Dyer and Seal Islands, in Mossel Bay and Gansbaai. And in Oudtshoorn, you can go diving with crocodiles, which can be more terrible than sharks.
The motley Republic of South Africa full of contrasts has absorbed the traditions of Africa, Asia, and the West. The South African cuisine is …

South African beaches are typically windy, which makes them ideal for kitesurfing - a great experience for tourists of any age. The 45-kilometer-long Otter Trail is waiting for true hikers. The whole journey takes about 5 days, but spectacular views of the forest and the coast are worth it. On the way, you can meet wild monkeys. Huts for rest are installed along the way, as sleeping in tents is not allowed - this is quite dangerous. The resort town of Knysna is waiting for snorkelers - the lagoon's warm water is teeming with tiny seahorses, swimming among which will be a pleasant adventure. Bafiansklöf invites motorcyclists because one of the world's best motorbike routes runs from here - about 160 kilometers of steppes and rivers, several days' journey.
Multicultural and diverse South Africa is a country with a rich history, about which many of its museums and historical monuments tell. District Six …

Tau Tona Mine
From the series “The Most Inaccessible Spots of the Planet”
Some difficult-to-reach places, whose formation was influenced by humans, can be found deep under the earth. Recently, the Tau Tona Mine, located in the Johannesburg area, became the world-famous landmark. This is the largest mine on earth. The ability to reach the mine is not only due to its great depth. One of the distinctive peculiarities of deep mines is very high temperature. Tourists may only visit the upper parts of the mine. The descent to the lower levels without special equipment is life-threatening. The shafts of the Goldmine reach the depth of 5 000 meters. From the African dialect, Tau Tona is translated as 'the Great Lion'. A very unusual cooling system was developed for the exploitation of the mine.
On the surface was built an industrial complex that produces ice. The … Read all
