Top Active Leisure Sport in South Africa

I suggest checking the weather a few days ahead. Wind can change plans! The skies were pretty cloudy on my first try, but I rescheduled and got the best views on a clear day.

Pro tip: wear layered clothing. It’s chilly at higher altitudes, but you’ll warm up once you’re in the air. I was freezing at first but ended up fine once we started flying.

Take advantage of the photography time! I was too focused on shooting during the drive and missed some great moments. Set aside some time just for pics, especially at sunrise!

Pack your own snacks and drinks. The ones at FM Safaris can be pricey. I brought a cooler bag and saved a ton plus had my favorite stuff on hand!

Don’t skip the smaller rides—they're often just as fun. Some of my best memories include the more chill attractions, and they typically have shorter wait times.

I recommend buying your tickets online to save some time in the queue. Trust me, the lines can get crazy, and you'll want to hit the rides ASAP!

Check the weather before you go. It can get chilly in the caves, so bringing a light jacket was a good call for me!
