Tailor-Made Adventure Holidays & Safaris to Africa

MILD TO WILD ADVENTURES

Africa offers limitless opportunities for adventure, excitement and unforgettable experiences for ‘explorers’ of all ages. Whether your idea of adventure is a full-on adrenaline rush complete with extreme thrills, or a milder (but no less exciting) adventure with activities suitable for the whole family. Africa can cater for all.

We love Africa and we also love outdoor activities. So, what is better than combining the two? Camp out under the stars & fall asleep to the sounds of the African bush or fly over Victoria Falls in Zambia or Zimbabwe. Take on the World’s highest bungee jump, climb Table Mountain or go shark cage diving in South Africa. Hot-air balloon ride over the migration in the Serengeti or the Maasai Mara and witness the nail-biting river crossings as thousands of wildebeest and zebra brave the crocodiles on their migration.

Tackle the climb to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania or scale the highest and most colourful dunes in the world in Namibia. Island hop in a dhow, sailing and sleeping in different locations around the beautiful Quirimbas Archipelago off Mozambique or dive in the turquoise waters off Ibo Island and explore the pristine corals. Experience some wild and beautiful parts of Africa on a riding safari taking you to extraordinarily areas of natural beauty and cultural significance. Embark on a proper walking safari in Zambia or trek into the mountains of Uganda and Rwanda in search of primates. Walk with camels in Northern Kenya or take to the water and paddle the Selinda Spillway in canoes on a private tented mobile safari in Botswana.

The choice is yours.

Adventure Holiday Destinations

Botswana

Botswana is a huge, sparsely populated country creating an ideal destination for an adventure holiday. Its diverse landscape comprised mostly of desert is also blessed with the most prolific wetlands in Africa. From quadbiking on the Makgadikgadi Pans to paddling through the famous Okavango Delta’s reed-lined channels in a Mokoro, activities can be as mild or as wild as you want! The diverse habitats of Chobe, Savuti, the prolific Moremi and the unique Okavango are sensational, both in the summer for birds especially, and also the dry autumn, winter and spring months for bigger game including large herds of elephant, plains animals and their predators – lion, leopard and cheetah.

Namibia

Enjoy wonderful birds and wildlife (for the naturalist), beautiful and immensely contrasting landscapes (for the photographer), natural geological wonders (for the geologist), adventure for the active, as well as the immense constellations (for the astronomer). The country's history (for the historian) is an eclectic mix of German, Afrikaans and African cultures making both the architecture and cuisine an adventure and journey of discovery in itself.

Tanzania

Tanzania is a country of outstanding natural beauty, wonderful wildlife and rich culture with many opportunities for adventure. It’s a first-class big game safari destination home to no less than 16 national parks including UNESCO-listed Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in the north and Selous Game Reserve & Ruaha National Park in the south. From climbing the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro to chimpanzee trekking, snorkelling and scuba diving, Tanzania is an unrivalled adventure holiday destination.

Ethiopia

Blessed with an abundance of historical wonders in the north including the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the obelisks of Axum and the Ark of the Covenant and some of Africa’s most enigmatic tribes in the south with distinct and impressive customs and traditions, travelling through Ethiopia is an adventure in which you’re never sure what is around the corner!

Rwanda

Rwanda is perfect for the active traveller. Blessed with volcanoes, montane rainforest and sweeping plains, it offers the ideal destination for trekking, birding, primate tracking and cultural interaction.

Zambia

Zambia is a huge, exceptional country, with wonderful rivers and game parks such as Liuwa Plain, Kafue, Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi, and the magnificent Victoria Falls, making it an excellent choice, especially for an adventure holiday to Africa.

Kenya

Kenya offers limitless opportunities for adventure, excitement and unforgettable experiences for 'explorers' of all ages! Imagine going to sleep with the roaring of the lions and the coughing of the leopard and being woken up each morning by the singing and chattering of the birds. With its wide range of accommodation, Kenya is perfect for exciting game viewing safaris, family holidays & safaris, the best mobile riding safaris and the most romantic honeymoons.

South Africa

South Africa is a country of immense diversity and each of its nine provinces, although unique in their own right, represents a different feature of South Africa with varied environments to cater for a wide range of adventure activities. Home to some of Africa’s biggest and best national parks, South Africa is the ideal destination for an unforgettable safari holiday. Experience the 'Big Five' amongst spectacular scenery with expert guides and accommodation options to suit you. We can accommodate all safari styles from walking and riding safaris to 4x4 tours, staying in anything from simple campsites to luxury lodges.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a land of enormous diversity with something to offer everyone. Experience the thunder and awesome majesty of Victoria Falls and the exhilaration of the abundance of adrenalin activities on offer. Try white water rafting or canoeing the calmer reaches of the mighty Zambezi, a truly magical and pure way of getting close to nature. For game viewing, visit Hwange National Park where there is a n abundance of animals, an excellent choice of lodges and guides who are both passionate and true professionals. This is a destination for the discerning traveller who wants real Africa.

12 Day Family Adventure Holiday | Kenya

Outposts Travel Africa arranged an adventurous family holiday for a lovely family of 3 who wanted to travel far off the beaten track in Kenya. We organised a 12 day adventure-packed itinerary that included 3 nights at Sasaab in Samburu & a 4 night quad biking safari led by Amory from Lattitude Adventures.

“Thanks to you and the team for organising such a brilliant trip for us. I think that it was probably our most expensive holiday yet but it was also the best. Amory absolutely “did us proud”. He’s a really nice chap and has a brilliant set-up. He quickly picked up on the first night that we didn’t just want to pootle around on the quads and on our second day he organised a serious trip for Will and me of just under 200Km which was fabulous.

Dawn I think best summarised our overall experience – Sasaab and the Samburu were a good start allowing us to see plenty of game, albeit in the slightly contrived experience of game reserves where the animals have no fear of people and are happy to walk within yards of the plethora of safari vehicles, and Amory’s camp, although a little thin on game, allowed us to see animals in a much more “real” way which was truly wonderful. We really did have an absolutely fabulous trip and whilst I think that I prefer South Africa to Kenya it has further enthused us with regard to African travel. Hopefully you’ll find something else to further inspire us in a few years!”
