SWAT Paintball is adrenaline-fueled fun

SWAT paintball

SWAT Paintball, located on a rural location just outside of Somerset West, is a great location to experience this awesome sport. Owned by Fanie Schoeman, SWAT Paintball is extremely well-managed. The equipment is top quality, the briefing and training professional and the safety standards extremely high.

Paintball is one of the most fun activities ever created. The adrenaline, the exercise and the camaraderie are replicated in few other activities.

Once a year, we hold an office paintball day. New staff members, particularly the ladies, are usually apprehensive about playing and choose not to participate. However, once the game is on and they see the fun, they get on the field.

Like most paintball areas, the facilities are rough and ready and made that way to resemble a war zone. SWAT Paintball offers a target Practice Area for first time paintballers and for experienced players, who want to calibrate their weapons. There are a variety of game options including Last Standing, Zombies, VIP and, my personal favourite – the Flag capture.

SWAT Paintball is a great place to celebrate a birthday, bachelor party or do some corporate team building. Due to popular demand, there are also games for the younger kids that don’t involve being shot, but do involve shooting! There are braai facilities on hand, but you need to bring your own wood and charcoal and food and beverages.

If you have never tried paintball, you need to add it to your bucket list. See you at SWAT Paintball! For more information, visit www.swat-paintball.co.za or call 072 453 6999 to make a reservation.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
