Can we tempt you with cycling and e-biking adventures over desert dunes and in the mountains of South Africa? Perhaps a heli flight over the vast landscapes of East Africa, or a spot of hiking or walking (or even running, if you’re feeling fit) in the most extraordinary of settings? Or maybe a quad biking expedition in the remote north of Kenya is more your cup of tea?
Most countries offer a little something extra other than the traditional game viewing experiences, you just have to know where to look…
Mozambique is a playground for water-based adventures, where the Indian Ocean’s turquoise waters offer endless possibilities. Dive into vibrant coral reefs, kayak through mangrove forests, or embark on a thrilling island-hopping excursion along the Bazaruto Archipelago. Beyond the beaches, Mozambique’s rich marine life and unspoiled coastal landscapes invite you to explore above and below the surface, making every moment an adventure in this stunning tropical paradise.
Namibia is the ultimate destination for those seeking adventure in one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. The towering sand dunes of Sossusvlei and the rugged terrain of the Namib Desert offer a playground for adrenaline-fueled activities. Whether you’re cycling or e-biking across the vast desert, sandboarding down the dunes, or taking to the skies for a breathtaking skydiving experience, Namibia’s wide-open spaces and surreal landscapes promise an unforgettable adventure.
South Africa is famous for its active, outdoors lifestyle, be it the Cape Townians climbing Table Mountain every weekend, or the water babies enthusiastically taking to the (very cold!) Atlantic Ocean for all manner of watersports. So go on, it would be rude not to join them…
Tucked away in the north of the country are some of Kenya’s wildest, most spectacular and extreme locations, most of them only accessible by helicopter. A once-in-a-lifetime heli safari allows you the means – and freedom – to explore these geographical wonders and you’ll hover over wildlife, fly through gorges and touch down beside turquoise pools for refreshing swims.
With 22 million acres of ocean wilderness to discover in the Seychelles, it’s safe to say there’s plenty to do below the surface of the water. But don’t forget about terra firma: walk or hike in search of aquatic seabirds and the population of 150 giant Aldabra tortoises; cycle around Alphonse Island; or visit the uninhabited islands of Bijoutier and St Francois.
The Republic of Congo offers an adventure into the depths of Africa’s untamed wilderness, where dense rainforests and winding rivers set the stage for thrilling experiences. Trek through the lush jungles of Odzala-Kokoua National Park, kayak along the meandering rivers, or embark on a guided expedition to track gorillas in their natural habitat. In Congo, the adventure lies in its untouched landscapes, where each journey brings you closer to the raw beauty of Africa’s wild heart.
