#TravelChatSA is a great way to engage with fellow travelers on Twitter. One of the previous topics was #AdventureTravelSA and it was more exciting than ever. Adventure gets my wanderlust ticking and travel bags packed, and thanks to last week’s chat I have a whole new set of destinations and activities scrawled on my to-do list. So … here are 30 South African adventures as shared on #TravelChatSA.
Here are some highlights of adventure travel opportunities in South Africa:
