Gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda
For those looking for the ultimate adventure in East Africa, then trekking through Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda or Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda in search of the endangered mountain gorillas is the perfect choice. Sharing around 96% of the same DNA as humans, gorillas are our closest relative. They are social, gentle and intelligent animals and it is said that observing them in the wild, truly shows this.
There is something so special, yet quite daunting, about standing metres from a silverback weighing around 200kg! For more information, please see our gorilla trekking pages.
Walking Safaris in Africa
If you are keen on spending a night in the heart of the African wilderness, you could consider a walking safari and a night spent fly camping. The term fly camping can be used to describe a very lightweight camp used on mobile safaris and its ultimate goal is to bring people closer to nature than ever before. Sometimes fly camping can be as simple as a thin mattress and a mosquito net – giving you the ultimate sleeping under the stars feeling.
Whilst the experience is made safe by the guides, it is one of the most exhilarating feelings ever… What can beat falling asleep under the star-lit sky, hearing roars and footsteps in the middle of the night, and waking up to the smell of fresh coffee in the middle of the untouched wilderness?
Please see our walking safaris section for countries and locations that specialise in offering the best you can get.
Zambia adventure safaris
If you are looking for a country that ticks off an incredible safari experience, as well as combining adrenaline activities, then look no further than Zambia.
National Parks such as the South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi offer reliable sightings of leopard, elephant and lion, either in a vehicle or on foot. With a short hop on to Victoria Falls you can which can be used as a great base for the adrenaline activities including bungee jumping, microlight flights over the falls, white water rafting and zip wiring.

Tanzania Adventure Holidays
Another country that needs its own section, the topography in Tanzania allows for a huge array of different safari combinations and activities. It is possible to swim in Lake Victoria after walking with chimps to then see the wildebeest of the Serengeti or camp in the bush in Ruaha and then luxuriate in the finest luxury on a white sand beach. The options (and budgets!) are endless!
With so many nuances to factor in, there is no substitute, in our experience, for having a talk through with someone but, to get you started we have also developed a Safari Finder that should allow you to get a few options initially.
