Experience
The most valuable thing in our lives is not money or material things, but the experiences and memories we will have while we are alive. That’s why you can’t go wrong if a gift is some kind of experience. It can be a bit of an adrenaline rush if it’s an adrenaline junkie. It is best then to choose a parachute jump, a bungee jump or something related to water. South Africa is all surrounded by oceans, so you should take advantage of that. There are various adventures that include diving, sailing, shark cage diving, cruising and much more. The bungee jump is also a great choice as there is a bungee jump from highest commercial bridge in the world. If it is a car enthusiast, you can pay for a 4×4 off-road ride on one of the many mountains. And of course, consider safari also. Safari is a breathtaking experience. South Africa offers so many opportunities for different, fantastic experiences, that it will be difficult for you to decide what to choose, so choose according to your budget.
Buy a penguin
You may now think we are out of our minds, but we don’t mean to literally buy a penguin as a gift, which will then be a pet at his home. No, this is actually the adoption of a penguin located in a rescue center. They end up there after being injured and then given care until they recover and are returned to the wild. Or some of them stay in the rescue center for the rest of their lives, if they are not able to return to the wild. The whole recovery process is not cheap, because food, care, medicine and everything else is necessary. This is an ideal gift for any animal lover because they will know that one animal was saved thanks to your gift. You will give him a certificate of adoption and another small gift that comes with the adoption of the penguin. And you will also know that you have done a good deed in this way.
