HOW TO TRAVEL IN AFRICA:
Finding the perfect adventure that fits your requirements can be ‘mind-boggling’ as there are 100’s of trips to choose from which can vary in many ways such as countries visited, budget, transport used, camping or accommodated, activities included/excluded, with/without a cook, kitty costs and duration to name a few.
Travel and tour options in Africa can be grouped into 4 main types, all of which we can organise for you as part of your Round the World Trip or as an adventure in its own right:
Your ADVENTURES can be anything from White Water Rafting the Source of the Nile, micro-lighting over Victoria Falls, Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro - Africa’s highest mountain, to Skydiving over the Namib Desert.
The WILDLIFE experiences range from close encounters with the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda, tracking the ’Big Five’ in East Africa’s world renowned national parks of the Serengeti and Massai Mara, witnessing the madness of the Wildebeest Migration, to hands on cheetah experiences in Namibia.
The CULTURAL experiences can be as varied as visiting a local school or orphanage and interacting with the kids, dancing with the beautifully adorned Massai , taking a stroll in the desert with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari to shopping in the local markets – all of which can be an eye opening experience.
The HISTORY of Africa is unsurpassed anywhere in the world with paleontologists naming Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania as the ’Cradle of Mankind’ where humankind originated. The ’dark history’ of slavery, colonialism and tribalism have all left their mark throughout the continent.
The stunning LANDSCAPES of Africa are unrivalled – the Great Rift Valley that runs from Egypt all the way to Mozambique creates dramatic scenery such as the plains of the Serengeti, the caldera of Ngorongoro Crater to the heights of the mighty Mt Kilimanjaro.
After experiencing all of the above aspects there are the magnificent BEACHES in which to soak and savour your experiences – from the tropical, unspoilt beaches of Zanzibar and Mozambique to the easy going lakeside beaches of Malawi.
