South Africa, one finds the world's strangest and most dramatic landscapes, a unique wealth of animal and plant life, a treasure of gold, diamonds and other minerals, and a kaleidoscope of fascinating cultures and to top all this off some of the best surfing waves on the planet.

Nature's tools of creation, the wind, sun, ice and rain, have worked a special magic. There are extremes of deserts, savannas, snow-covered mountains, grasslands, high forests and tropical mangrove swamps. Within these climatic zones.

It is the variety of South Africa fascinating and diverse peoples that is its greatest asset. South Africa is often called the cradle of civilisation, for this is where archaeologists discovered 2,5 million-year-old fossils of our earliest ancestors, as well as 100 000-year-old remains of modern man.

South Africans come from many cultural traditions, they belong to one nation, a dynamic blend of age-old customs and modern ways, building a new South African society to create a better life for all.

South Africa is surrounded by the ocean on three sides to the west, south and east and has a long coastline of about 3 000 km. This coastline is swept by two major ocean currents the warm south-flowing Mozambique-Agulhas Current and the cold Benguela. The former skirts the east and south coasts as far as Cape Agulhas, while the Benguela Current flows northwards along the west coast as far as southern Angola.

South Africa is famous for its sunshine. Generally speaking, April and May are the most pleasant months. The rainy season over the summer-rainfall region has then ended, while it has not yet really started in the winter-rainfall area. The hot summer weather has abated, and the winds are lighter than during the rest of the year.

SURF TOUR

Day 1

We will pick you up from the airport and transport you down the south coast to your accommodation in Scottburgh. Check in and relax while you soak up the atmosphere, the beach is a mere 100 yards away or just chill out in the gardens. A welcome dinner will be served in the bar and entertainment area with a accommodation fire and braai (barbeque) on the go!

Day 2

Because it’s your first day we will let you have a little sleep in, but soon the smell of your breakfast being prepared will become irresistible and you’ll be tempted from your bed. Once breakfast is done and dusted, we travel the couple of minutes’ drive to the bays of Scottburgh. Here you will be introduced to your surfing guides for the week. We’ll spend the entire day on the beach surfing so that you can enjoy the perfect waves as much as you want. There will be refreshments, lunch and shade provided on the grass area over-looking the ocean so that you can recharge between surfs. Evening meal will be quick and easy tonight as you should be quite exhausted after your long day.

Day 3

Today will start the same as the first, except an earlier rise as you will have some serious surf spots to visit. Once again there will be a beach accommodation set up for you to chill and recharge between surf sessions. Return to accommodation to shower and freshen up. Then it’s a night out in the little town, dinner at a local restaurant and drinks with the locals (own account).

Day 4

Wake up early and make your way to the surfing beach, continue your quest to master your new surfing spots. Return to accommodation for a hearty breakfast and then leave for a tour to Oribi Gorge. Here you will take a drive through the gorge and see the beautiful scenery, but once at the top of the gorge things change. Here you have the chance to brave the highest bridge swing in the world or abseil down the side of a waterfall (optional). Then settle down to lunch at the Leopard Rock coffee shop and enjoy the spectacular views from their balcony. Dinner back at the accommodation will be a delicious fish Braai (barbeque) at the bar and entertainment area, with the accommodation fire to sit around and come down after your adrenalin boost!
