Now that the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup is history, you can find plenty of discounted (from luxe to inexpensive) trips to South Africa. Adrenalin junkies will love this country where adventure travel experiences are only limited by how much your body can handle. In addition to taking a safari (in a jeep or on the back of an elephant) you can go ziplining, fly a MIG jet, horseback ride among vineyards and much more. You can also hurtle toward the water during a bungy jump from one of the world's highest bridges, fly a MIG jet, surf in barrel tubes, dive with sharks, and go kloofing, canyoneering, abseiling and sandboarding. If you enjoy extreme adventures, South Africa is the place to visit.
