Africa Active Holidays
Active Holidays
From cycling through the striking deserts and sand dunes of Namibia, to trekking the ‘roof of Africa’ – Mount Kilimanjaro, to embarking on a walking tour of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa to observe its historic battlefields, as well as keeping an eye out for the Big 5 – there is an active adventure in Africa for you!
Whether you prefer sociable guided group active journeys with an expert guide to lead the way or prefer a tailormade package created around your specific requirements, offering plenty of time for enjoying active excursions, the choice is yours. What’s more, if you would like to tag on a few days at the beginning or end of your trip for some well-deserved relaxation or extra sightseeing, this can be easily arranged for you. You may also opt to extend your active holiday in Africa to include more than one destination, shaping your holiday into a unique and memorable multi centre package.
With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for a successful Africa active holiday. Our expert travel consultants are mines of information, gathered from personal travel experience and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.
