Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is the ultimate Africa adventure, challenging hikers with its lofty 5,895-meter ascent while rewarding them with stunning panoramas of Northern Tanzania. Traverse verdant rainforests, arid alpine deserts, and icy terrains before arriving at the renowned peak, where the golden dawn unveils expansive vistas of the African savannah and Mount Meru beyond. Challenging yet profoundly gratifying, this legendary ascent serves as a measure of perseverance and resolve—an indelible victory atop the Roof of Africa.

Gorilla Trekking

Gorilla trekking in Africa provides the opportunity to observe endangered mountain gorillas in their native environment, chiefly in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Anticipate traversing rainforests, navigating difficult terrain, and briefly encountering gorilla families, so aiding conservation initiatives. Prominent parks comprise Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Wildebeest Migration Safaris

Wildebeest migration safaris provide an opportunity to observe the largest annual wildlife migration globally, involving approximately 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traversing between Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya in pursuit of more fertile grazing and water sources. The most significant event is the river crossing, generally taking place from July to October in the Masai Mara, attracting large crowds and showcasing remarkable predator-prey interactions. To mitigate tourist overcrowding, contemplate visiting private conservancies or travelling during the shoulder months of late June or September.

The wildebeest migration is a yearly natural event in which millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the Serengeti and Masai Mara habitats in East Africa in pursuit of fresh pastures and water sources. The movement is seasonally driven and follows a cyclical route, with the herds predominantly residing in Tanzania and momentarily entering Kenya from July to October.

The Great Wildebeest Migration in Africa, also referred to as the Gnu Migration, Serengeti Migration, and Masai Mara Migration, is one of the last remaining significant terrestrial wildlife migrations on Earth. The primary reason numerous visitors embark on a Migration safari to Kenya and Tanzania, particularly around mid-year, is this. The migration represents one of nature’s most significant paradoxes: while time is crucial, predicting the creatures’ movements remains impossible. The timing of the wildebeest, along with a few zebras and antelopes, crossing the Mara River remains uncertain. It is understood that rainfall will prompt the wildebeest to migrate to new pastures; however, the precise timing of the rainfall remains uncertain. We have been organising Wildebeest Migration safaris. We have assisted thousands of tourists in securing optimal locations at the most advantageous times for the most competitive prices. If you seek skilled planning counsel, your search ends here. We have assembled all our expert recommendations in this convenient beginner’s guide to a Wildebeest Migration safari.

Rwenzori Trekking

In the Rwenzori’s, hikers can choose between high- and low-altitude routes. The low-altitude treks usually last two to four days and don’t go higher than four thousand meters. Treks to high altitudes, defined as those reaching peaks above 4,000 meters, often take four to twelve days to complete.

Visiting the Rwenzori’s on their own is possible, but many visitors want to combine their trip with a visit to Kibale National Park, Queens, or Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, all of which are located along the south-west circuit of Uganda.
Throughout the routes, people have built simple wooden huts that serve as their accommodations. Each house has bunk beds and its own toilet.

The Rwenzori Mountains are the site of Mount Stanley, which is home to Margherita Peak (5,109m), the highest point in Uganda. A minimum of seven days spent in the mountains is required to reach the summit of Margherita Peak.

Ascending Mount Rwenzori in Uganda is an indelible expedition through pristine wilderness and stunning vistas rarely encountered elsewhere. The sublime terrain of the Mountains of the Moon provides adventurous hikers an unparalleled journey across Africa’s natural marvels.

Hiking in Rwenzori Mountains National Park is a profound experience, particularly for solitary hikers engaged in self-exploration. The mountain forests will envelop you in the unrefined splendour of the African nature. The trails traverse diverse landscapes, from vibrant green montane forests to alpine meadows that glisten like emeralds.

Encounters with the elusive Rwenzori colobus monkeys enhance the enchantment of your walk. These elegant primates, adorned with beautiful black-and-white coats, exhibit an almost dreamlike grace in their movements.

Indian Ocean Adventures

Escape to the Indian Ocean islands of Mozambique, Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, and Zanzibar, where adventure meets quiet luxury. Dive vivid reefs, kayak through mangroves, or sail dhows at sunset. Hike Madagascar’s jungles, swim with whale sharks off Mafia Island, or explore secluded sandbanks in Mozambique. Then, unwind on powder-soft beaches, feast on delicious seafood, and soak in the slowness of island life. A perfect blend of action and calm, the Indian Ocean’s tropical gems guarantee an amazing escape.

Lake Malawi’s Secret Beaches

Lake Malawi offers numerous hidden beaches, from the golden sands of Kande Beach to the private shores of Makuzi Beach and the secluded coves on Likoma Island, providing tranquil, off-the-beaten-path escapes perfect for relaxation, water sports, and wildlife observation in its famously clear, cichlid-filled waters.

Lake Malawi presents an extraordinary African adventure, combining serenity with discovery. This huge freshwater lake, spanning Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania, features pristine waters, quiet golden beaches, and a diverse underwater ecosystem abundant with vibrant cichlids. Engage in snorkelling, diving, or kayaking in its temperate, tranquil waters, or relax in a lakeside bungalow, where the cadence of the waves and sunlit decks create an ideal atmosphere for repose. Remote from the throngs, Lake Malawi is an undiscovered haven—wild, pristine, and profoundly memorable.

Desert Safaris in Namibia

Namibia’s exquisitely varied landscapes present a striking and adventurous contrast to numerous other holiday locations in Africa. The striking red-orange sand dunes of Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert and the eerily stunning Skeleton Coast present a dramatic and indelible landscape. Abundant desert fauna, like as cheetahs and oryx, flourish in harsh environments, while cultural engagement enhances the experience with a compelling human dimension. Adventure beckons at every corner, with pursuits such as hot air ballooning, dune bashing, and quad biking ensuring indelible memories.

Remote Southern Tanzania

Remote Southern Tanzania refers to the less-visited national parks and reserves of Selous, Ruaha, and Katavi National Parks, known for their rugged landscapes and abundant wildlife, including large numbers of elephants, wild dogs, and rhinos. These areas offer a more secluded and authentic safari experience with unique activities like boat safaris and walking safaris.

Victoria Falls Tours

Victoria Falls tours offer varied experiences, from guided walks at the falls themselves to multi-day adventure packages combining safaris, river cruises, and cultural experiences in Zimbabwe and Zambia. You can choose between walking tours that explore the 16 viewpoints on either the Zimbabwe or Zambia side, with Zimbabwe offering a more expansive view of the falls. For broader experiences, consider tours to nearby Chobe National Park for wildlife viewing, luxury sunset cruises on the Zambezi, or adventures like helicopter rides

White Water Rafting

White water rafting is available in several countries in Africa, with the most famous destinations being the Zambezi River below Victoria Falls (Zambia/Zimbabwe) and the White Nile in Jinja, Uganda. Other locations include the Orange River in South Africa, which offers a more relaxed experience through stunning desert landscapes, and the Blyde River in South Africa’s Drakensberg Mountains. The Zambezi offers some of the world’s most powerful commercially-run rapids, while the White Nile provides year-round rafting with impressive international standard rapids

Golfing in Africa

Best Time for African Adventure Safaris

Generally speaking, the months of June through October are ideal for an adventure safari in Africa, but when you go will depend on your interests and goals for the trip. The months of May through September are ideal for spotting animals in Kruger National Park, especially the Big Five, because the weather is dry and the vegetation is less dense during this time. If seeing the Great Migration is something you’ve always wanted to do, the months of late June through August are prime viewing. We recommend visiting between June and October if you are prepared to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
