2. Sail up Table Mountain by Cable Car & abseil your way down
   

   Abseil Cape Town's Table Mountain, South Africa's most internationally recognisable icon but if that idea makes you break out in a sweat, then hop aboard the rotating cable way for a smooth glide up to its summit.

   
3. Scramble through the Cango Caves & go ostrich racing in Oudsthoorn

4. Come face to face with the Big 5 on a game drive
   

   Visit any number of Western Cape game reserves and experience the thrill of being surrounded by a pack of hungry lions, the sight of elephant bulls jousting with each other, the speed of a hunting leopard or the exhilaration of being pursued by a thundering rhino or wildebeest!

   
5. Dive with Great White Sharks in Gansbaai
   

   Toss any fear overboard, climb into a reinforced steel cage and get lowered into the deep blue for a close encounter with the oceans deadliest predator.
