South African Delights No Matter What The Season By Vanessa Alberts At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The Cape Overberg of South Africa is a relatively undiscovered travel destination yet it is a treasure chest filled with wonderous South African delights. This is the region on the southernmost tip of Africa. As regions go in South Africa it is quite small geographically. It takes only 2.5 hours to travel between the Eastern and Western boundaries, and 1 hour between the Northern and Southern boundaries. This makes it a perfect spot for exploring - you can never really get lost! The Overberg has everything - mountains, rivers, oceans and landscapes that are constantly changing. There is never a day or a vista that is the same.

If you're looking for adventure there are a whole lot of things that will get your adrenalin going from abseiling to great white shark diving. Nature lovers will never get enough with our spectacular Cape Fynbos that has thousands of different species and can be seen almost everywhere you go - up mountains, along sea cliff paths, in botanical gardens, on the roadside...and with all this nectar about you can imagine the abundance of bird life!

Fishermen watch out, you may have discovered Heaven. From fly-fishing to deep water sea fishing to rock pool play-fishing. Inland, along the shore, salt water, sea water – you name it. The mighty Breede River is a particular favourite among avid fishermen - some arrive and never return. They settle along the banks and fish 'til the end of their days.

How does a selection of 10 different golf courses sound? Each in their own unique setting - nestled in our undulating rûens, with spectacular mountain or sea views - or both. The famous Arabella course where the annual Nelson Mandela Invitational is played is one of them!

There are many seaside villages that are ideal summer holiday spots with pristine beaches, coves filled with rock pools and lagoons to canoe, windsurf or float in. Why not enjoy a holiday on one of our local working farms and expose your kids to the delights of lambs being born, cows being fed, tractor rides and fruit picking?

Relax and pamper yourself at one of the Spa's or many health and beauty salons. Disappear into magical nature at one of the many retreats.

Watch whales, climb mountains, eat delectable country meals, take your 4x4 on a real journey along a dirt road through a spectacular valley, bring your bike and cycle through apple orchards, discover magical forests, experience local wines in the place they were created, go quad biking, river rafting sandboarding or just enjoy a good book surrounded by absolute beauty.

There is no perfect season to visit the Overberg - every season has it's own appeal - sunny seaside summers; colourful fruity flower-filled springs; misty, romantic rainbow autumns and whale watching, log fire, wine tasting winters.

So start planning your trip now!
