of exploration and fun, uncovering
everything this vibrant city has to offer.

Favourites?
“It is so hard to choose, but according
to the teams, there were some definite
favourites,” says Van den Berg.

At Milky Lane, contestants had to
create their own waffle and eat it.
The Milky Moo mascots were also
there jiving with the teams, and the
vibe was definitely popular amongst
participants.

The heliport was an entirely different
kind of hotspot, and it’s not something
you see every day. This is SA’s only
privately owned heliport. Activities
included spelling words using the
official NATO phonetic alphabet and
shooting paper aeroplanes into a
bucket.

Van den Berg says the boeresport at
Waterfall Country Village Estate was
also a hit, taking the teams back to
their childhood with hula hooping and
3-legged races.

And lastly, the car karaoke challenge
was a huge success, with teams
having to choose a song and record
one minute of singing it in the car at
any time during the race. The winning
team got petrol attendants to sit in
their car and sing along with them
while the cameraman hung out the
sunroof filming! And of course their
choice of song helped too, said Van
den Berg, being an oldie but goldie,
Sweet Caroline.
