ACTIVE ADVENTURE SAFARIS
Ever imagined camping on a remote island in the heart of the Okavango Delta, or galloping across the golden grasslands of Kenya? How about joining a conservation team as they dart an elephant or collar a leopard, stepping right into the heart of wildlife protection? Try a canoe trail along the Zambezi, bike through the rocky terrain of Botswana's Tuli Block, or hike the dramatic gorges of Kruger. For many travelers, the idea of spending every day confined to a vehicle isn’t particularly appealing.
Some adventures may involve sleeping under the stars with just a bedroll and a warm meal—but rest assured, you’ll be well cared for. In South Africa’s Cape region, you can hike up Table Mountain, cycle through scenic winelands, or kayak alongside whales along the coast. In Kruger National Park, multi-day wilderness hikes offer a raw, untamed perspective of the bush. In Botswana, you can horse ride or quad bike across the vast Makgadikgadi Pans or paddle a kayak through the Okavango Delta’s winding channels.
The opportunities continue across the continent:
In the Serengeti, explore the iconic plains on horseback or by bike.
In Zimbabwe, paddle down the mighty Zambezi River.
In Uganda, trek through the forest to encounter mountain gorillas and chimps.
In Tanzania, take on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or explore the craters around Ngorongoro.
In Kenya, ride camels or horses through wildlife-rich plains.
In Madagascar, paddle out to Blue Lagoon in Masoala
In Zambia, head to the North Luangwa and hike each day to a new camp
Whether you opt for a rugged, back-to-basics experience or something more luxurious, getting out of the vehicle is one of the most powerful ways to truly connect with the wild.These safaris aren't just for hardcore adventurers or Bear Grylls types—they're for anyone with a spirit of curiosity, a love for the outdoors, and a desire to experience nature in its purest form.
Whether it's a short highlight within a longer itinerary or the focus of your entire trip, active safaris offer a rare chance to unplug, reconnect with the earth, and return home with a refreshed outlook on life.
