The world’s superstars have long seen South Africa as the place to come in search of wild experiences. And, when life has become a little too predictable, electrifying encounters with white sharks guarantee massive adrenaline hits and brilliant interview stories for TV talk shows. If you’re Sir Elton John, the highest paid singer in the world with a staggering net worth of $245 million, you can pretty much holiday anywhere you damn well wish to.

South Africa is the top Great White Shark cage diving destination in the world, offering thrilling boat-based sightings and cage diving encounters. Along with scores of documentary film crews, the famous faces that these toothy predators have eyeballed include Prince Harry, Brad Pitt, the King of Jordon, Matt Damon, Sting, Nicholas Cage, Katie Melua and Cameron Diaz. Up to 15 sharks can be seen in one boat trip around Dyer Island near Hermanus and Seal Island off False Bay near Simon’s Town. Animal Ocean will give you the best tips on how to see this fascinating creature.

Cape Town’s legendary Table Mountain is the only landmark to give its name to a constellation – and is regularly summited by some of the most famous people on the planet. Queen Elizabeth II, Oprah Winfrey and Margaret Thatcher have all taken the cableway to the top, as have megastars Sting, Halle Berry, Tina Turner, Jackie Chan, Michael Buble and countless A-listers. TV presenter and supermodel Janez Vermeiren popped the question to Brazilian model, Juliana Vasconcelos, on top of Table Mountain.

Spilling down the slopes of Table Mountain to a milky beach and the Atlantic Ocean, the glamorous suburb of Camps Bay is home to the chic set. Studded along the beachfront are trendy restaurants, sidewalk cafés and bars – great places for shaking off the beach sand while sipping sundowners and ogling the rich and famous. On a lucky day, you might spot Zac Efron, Leonardo DiCaprio, John Cleese, Ian McKellan or Adrien Brody munching on crayfish.

Visited regularly by Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their six children, the gorgeous Naankuse Lodge passionately safeguards the vulnerable cultures and wildlife of Namibia. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation are dedicated supporters of Naankuse, meeting up with the San Bushman and assisting with the Wild Dogs and carnivores projects.

Much loved by Elton John, La Residence is a decadent and romantic estate in the stunning Franschhoek Valley. Glamourous suites boast spectacular views and lavish decor with artworks, antiques and lush draperies.

Visited by US First Lady Michelle and her daughters, Malia and Sasha Obama, Madikwe Game Reserve is home to the Big 5 and is one of South Africa’s largest reserves. Star attractions at Madikwe include cheetah and the striking Wild Dogs. Part of its appeal is that it lies in a malaria-free zone.

You got that celebrity spotters? Something tells me these stars might be more partial to snapping a selfie with you in a luxury retreat somewhere, rather than when you’ve ambushed them outside their restaurant. If they’re not just take a look around – life really isn’t that bad now is it?
