Put that laptop away and go offline… this long weekend’s the time to have all that fun you’ve been promising to have, and explore all those places you’ve been promising to explore. Here are just a few ideas
Go Camping
Even if it’s just for one night, and even if you set up camp in your back garden, it’s all about an exciting change of scenery.
Cook up a potjie, braai a few marshmallows, stay up late and leave your phone off. Nothing beats the great outdoors, even if it’s just your good ol’ garden.
Shop camping essentials online.
Go to the Park
You’ve seen one shopping centre, you’ve seen ‘em all. Skip the restaurants and the window shopping, and instead, take your morning to the park or the beach.
Pack a picnic, bring the bat and ball and don’t forget your camera! Your body will thank you for the fresh outdoor air, and of course, the wide-open spaces to explore.

Go for a hike
Not only is a good hike a great way to explore the spectacular outdoors, it’s also a blood-pumping workout too. And South Africa is teeming with challenging and scenic routes – so just take your pick.
The best part? Beyond burning a few calories en route, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views at the end of every climb.
Shop men's and ladies' outdoor apparel.
Pack a Picnic
It might be the fresh air or the change of scenery, but food just seems to taste better at a picnic. And of course, what’s not to love about lounging around on a picnic blanket and tucking in to a colourful spread of snacks?
So, this long weekend, skip the hotdogs in front of the telly and take those snacks outdoors, even if it’s just to your back garden.

Go fishing
Ask any fisherman and they’ll tell you that fishing is about more than just reeling in that epic catch. It’s about the escape, being surrounded by the sounds of the water and just getting a chance to mentally regroup.
This long weekend, pack that tackle, bring along your favourite fishing buddies, and make a day of it.
