Kids will be giddy with all the activities to choose from at the Angry Birds Activity Park. It’s the only place we can think of where you can hop through a laser maze before a round of crazy golf, all with your face painted like a butterfly! What more could you ask for?

Run a tight ship

Can’t decide between speedboat rides, snorkelling, jet-skis, and parasailing? You should take a cruise with Afrikat! They take you out on the water where you can enjoy lunch and a swim or take part in every watersport imaginable, so the whole family’s happy.

River deep, mountain high
