Top Tips for Plett Rage students

Plettenberg Bay is gearing up for the longest running student festival in the Southern Hemisphere – Plett Rage! With around  15 000 students expected to arrive in Plett in just over a week – the Destination Freedom festival is set to be a fun, frantic time for Matrics to celebrate their graduation and the start of the Plett Summer season.

While the town and Plett Rage organisers have been working hard to ensure that not only do Plett Ragers have the party of their lives, but that they can celebrate in a safe and positive environment in our beautiful Plettenberg Bay.  Here are some of our top tips for Plett Rage students to have the best time in Plett – and keep coming back year after year!

Plett Rage Tip 1: Accommodation – whether you are staying at a bed and breakfast, private home or camping – know the address and contact information for where you are staying. Be sure to give this information to your loved ones back home, in case of an emergency.

Plett Rage Tip 2: This is your time – don’t waste a second of it!  Make sure that you know the full schedule on the Plett Rage calendar so that you don’t miss your favourite acts or activations from Main Beach to the nightclub. The Plett Rage schedule and lineup can be found here: www.plettrage.co.za or follow them on Twitter for the latest news #plettrage2015

Plett Rage Tip 3: Remember to eat! There is so much to see and do during Plett Rage that you may be tempted to try and do everything. Plett restaurants have a number of special offers for Plett Rage students including “All Day Breakfast“, Pizza Specials and more. Check out the booklet in your Plett Rage Student Pass for more information.

Plett Rage Tip 4: Look out for the Red Frogs if you’re feeling a bit lost or overwhelmed. The Red Frogs are an internationally recognised student holiday support network aimed at providing a positive presence during festivals such as Plett Rage. You’ll be in good hands if you visit their Chill Tent – they even visit the guesthouses in Plett to make pancakes for ragers.

Plett Rage Tip 5: Plett is an incredible place to visit – make time to get out and explore. A hike on Robberg Nature Reserve is a must do as it is a National Monument and Nature Reserve with some of the best views in the country!  If you would like to get active – why not try a surf or scuba lesson, the world famous Bloukrans Bungy or the new AfriAbseil adventure?  There is so much to do and see in Plett, you won’t regret taking some time out to explore.

Plett Rage Tip 6: Be prepared. Keep emergency contact information on your phone and somewhere else safe (in case you lose your phone). Don’t put yourself into dangerous or solitary situations and make sure you know how you are getting home each night (see Tip 1 🙂 )For important numbers and more info go to http://www.plettrage.co.za
