Sunday, 13 May is Mother’s Day, the day when we show our moms just how much we love them and how much they mean to us. It’s the day when moms can sit back, relax, and let themselves be spoiled. But breakfast in bed and a big bunch of beautiful flowers is not the only way to show your love, there are loads of activities you can do to have fun with your mum. Here are some fun, slightly different ways to treat mom on Mother’s Day.
Take mom out for a great meal
There are some fantastic deals on Mother’s Day meals this year, ranging from casual to upmarket. From hearty buffets and delicious set menus to gorgeous, elegant high teas, there’s a Mother’s Day special to suit every taste and budget.

Have a laugh
Everyone loves a laugh, and the Cape Town Comedy Club situated in The Pumphouse at the V&A Waterfront is the perfect place to take your mom for some food and funny. While the comics tickle your funny bone from the stage, let the kitchen hit the spot with some delicious local favourites like the famous ‘Jou Ma se Burger’ and ‘Jou Ma se Gatsby’, as well as cheesy pizzas named after famous comedians. What’s more, with their ‘Half price Sundays’ promo, you get in for only R60 per person, no jokes.
Take a scenic paragliding flight
If you’re looking for a more adventurous way to treat your mom, a tandem paragliding flight is just the thing, after all being a mother is not for sissies. Soar above the city and experience Cape Town’s spectacular scenery in peaceful tranquillity as you glide around Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, with a qualified and experienced tandem master as your guide.
