Adventure

Few continents satisfy the spirit of adventure quite like Africa. One morning may begin on foot, following fresh lion tracks through the bush with an experienced guide. Another could see you suspended beneath a hot-air balloon as thousands of wildebeest drift across the Serengeti below. And then there are the game drives… Nothing is quite so thrilling or as iconic to Africa as witnessing the drama of a predator's hunt unfolding in front of your camera lens. Far beyond the great wildlife reserves, adventure takes many forms. Ride a camel across the sweeping dunes of the Sahara or explore the serenity of the desert by quad bike. Beneath the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean, SCUBA dive or snorkel on vibrant coral reefs, where manta rays and turtles drift sedately on warm ocean currents. And for those drawn to pure exhilaration, few experiences rival a bungee jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge, plunging toward the mighty Zambezi River below. Whether your ambitions lead you to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the depths of the Indian Ocean, or the wilderness of the Serengeti, Africa offers adventures as varied and remarkable as the continent itself.
