The very mention of Africa evokes notions of adventure and discovery. The lure of its magical landscapes, spectacular wildlife and age-old cultures is hard to resist. Active tours in Africa take you trekking through stunning gorges, cycling across vast open plains, ziplining between rainforest tree-tops and boating in lakes full of hippos.

Guided Activity Holidays in Africa

Many African tours take you on epic trips through otherworldly terrains, looking out for wildlife and camping under starry skies. On Morocco tours, you can go camel trekking in the Sahara and hike into the Atlas mountains for breathtaking views of the valleys below. Guided tours in Tanzania invite you to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro and gaze down on all Africa from its highest point. In South Africa, chain ladders in the rock face make for an exciting ascent to the top of Sentinel Peak in the splendid Drakensberg Mountains.

A world of outdoor adventure awaits in Africa. The striking red dunes of the Namib Desert set the scene for sandboarding, fat biking and paragliding thrills. Lovers of sea sports will be drawn to surfing, windsurfing, and kite-surfing havens such as Essaouira in Morocco, Walvis Bay in Namibia and Cape Town in South Africa. Wonderful snorkelling opportunities abound on the Atlantic coast and in the Red Sea, while the white water rafting on the Zambezi River below Victoria Falls is regarded by many as the best in the world.
