Have your own Olympic holiday
The 2024 Olympics may be over, but there’s no need to sit on the couch missing out on all the action. A local holiday jam-packed with activities presents a new way to connect with loved ones while discovering the joy of being active.
Don’t let those bad knees stop you from embracing your inner sports enthusiast with loved ones. Here’s how to have your own Olympic holiday guaranteed to ignite your competitive spirit and satisfy your wanderlust.
Switch the pommel horse for pony rides
Saddle up at Little Switzerland Resort in the Drakensberg. There’s no better place to channel your inner Stephen Nedoroscik, who, at this year’s Olympics, was dubbed the ‘Clark Kent of pommel horse’. Amidst the soaring Berg scenery, you can mount your trusty stead for a family-friendly outride without breaking a sweat (or a wrist). New hobby unlocked.
Multi-sport events for everyone
From archery to paintball, mountain biking to Segway safaris, destinations like Tala Collection Game Reserve and Olifants River Lodge offer an plethora of games and activities all in one place. Don’t miss your chance to get everybody active and together, with a little healthy competition thrown in for good measure. At the end of the day, it’s not just about the events — it’s the team spirit and connection guaranteed to make your next holiday memorable and perhaps even an annual tradition.
Let the beach Olympics begin
The beach provides the perfect host venue for your own Olympic event, be it at The Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape or Zimbali Lodge. If not surfing, try a spot of long jumping or take to the waves for some high-speed hurdling (if your ankles allow it). Don’t forget to pass the baton – be it ice cream cones for the kids or a cold one for Dad.
Team up for some not-so-synchronised swimming
If not a beach, several of our properties (such as Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort) feature swimming pools guaranteed to impress the likes of Tatjiana Smith. Once you’ve mastered all the strokes (including doggy paddle), rally all the aunts, uncles, and cousins for a synchronised swimming performance and let the games begin!
