DELRAY BEACH, FL, July 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine the rush of stepping off Cape Town's Table Mountain, 3,000 feet above sea level, and rappelling into pure vertical space. Surrounding you are the amazing views of Camp's Bay and the deep blue Atlantic. Table Mountain is the world's highest commercial abseil, and if you are ready to be challenged, African Travel, Inc.'s 11-day Adrenaline South Africa, will make all your heart-pumping dreams come true. From shark diving to hiking up Table Mountain and abseiling down, from elephant-back safaris to Big Five game drives, you'll experience the best this natural wonderland has to offer on this thrill-seeking safari!
Great white shark diving is possibly the greatest thrill that you will ever experience, and South Africa's "shark alley" is undoubtedly one of the top shark dive regions in the world. From both the boat deck and submerged in the safety of the specially designed cage, you will certainly get the view you are looking for of these magnificent and feared creatures.
After all that thrill-seeking, you'll appreciate relaxing on a full day excursion to the Cape Peninsula. View the spectacular scenery of Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, and Boulders Beach, where you can get close to a colony of Jackass Penguins! The adventure takes you to glorious Stellenbosch, the beautiful heart of the sophisticated Cape Winelands. Home to one of the country's prestigious universities, you'll love exploring the fine art galleries, the architecture, the history, and the curious and quaint shops. But first you'll take a leisurely drive to get acquainted with the beauty of this world-renowned region, before discovering the winemaking process in a fascinating cellar tour.
Set off into the African bush on the back of the elephant, for a wonderful view of the surroundings, and if you choose you can walk with the elephants too! The privilege of dining with these large mammals will become a reality, as a sumptuous picnic is spread out before you on the shady riverside bank.
If that isn't enough, you'll then begin a three-day camping safari to Kruger National Park. The park offers excellent game viewing, and from privileged private wilderness sites, your guides have the freedom to access areas of the park rarely visited. Chances of seeing one or all of the famed Big Five are excellent, and of course the smaller plains game species and the wonderful African bird life is prolific. There is nothing more exciting than sleeping out in the wild, getting close to nature, and hearing every sound in the African bush.
This is a fantastic safari experience for anyone looking for adrenaline thrills in addition to the wonder and excitement of a more traditional African safari. Adrenaline South Africa is 11 days and priced from $4,495 per person land only, based on double occupancy.
