Active Travel
Whether you’re a wide-eyed first-timer or a frequent visitor, an African safari never fails to make a lasting impression. Although the classic safari experience is based around game drives, there are endless opportunities to get out and explore.
For the avid walker or hiker, break away from the vehicle on a multi-day walking safari in destinations like Kenya or Zambia. Or perhaps find your happy place on a Great Walk in New Zealand, on the Salkantay Trail of Peru, summiting Kili in Tanzania, hiking the Himalayas in Nepal, or exploring the magnificent landscapes of Torres del Paine and Argentine Patagonia on foot.
For water lovers, embark on multi-day mokoro expedition in Botswana’s Delta or a long-distance canoe trip in Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools. Snorkel, kayak, and hike your way through Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands. Scuba in Seychelles, Egypt, Australia, or Madagascar. Kayak off the coast of Cape Town, or in the icy waters of Antarctica.
Some active travelers prefer taking it to the next level, and getting their adrenaline fix. White water rafting in Victoria Falls is always a thrilling experience. Or perhaps take things up a notch with bungee jumping in New Zealand.
For a more serene way to take in your surroundings, float above the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon, enjoy the “canopy walk” in Ecuador’s Amazon, or step back in time with a sunset camel ride in the Moroccan Sahara.
