Trekking Holidays in Africa + Walking Safaris for Every Traveler
Experience the vast cultural diversity, breathtaking natural scenery, and different landscapes of Africa on one of our walking and trekking vacations. Africa is home to more than 50 nations with some of the most diverse landscapes, animals, and flora in the world, making trekking there an unforgettable and absorbing adventure for every traveler. Walking around the Western Cape of South Africa, crossing the world-famous sand dunes of Morocco, and sleeping under the stars are all possible experiences on an African trekking journey. The renowned Mount Toubkal is the highest mountain in Morocco and all of Northern Africa; a climb to its peak would be an even greater challenge.
If you are looking to cross Kilimanjaro off your list or are part of the seven summits challenge, we offer a variety of treks that will take you up the mountain by both well-known and less-traveled routes to the Uhuru peak. Walking safaris around Africa are also available, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with some of the continent’s most famous animals, such as lions, cheetahs, and elephants.

Trekking Holidays in Africa: Walking Safaris in East & Southern Africa
A new era is dawning on African safaris. Guided walking safaris have become increasingly popular, completely changing the way people watch wildlife, much like the camera has supplanted the hunting rifle. Instead of relying on vehicles, adventurers are increasingly exploring big game areas on foot, whether it’s for an hour or several days, and then spending the evenings under the stars at secluded lodges or tented camps.
One of the most remarkable experiences of a lifetime is a walking safari through Africa. Daydream about being surrounded by birdsong as you follow animal trails, whether it’s following a troop of foraging baboons or finding a shady spot to watch buffalo congregate at a waterhole. Every night, you may relax in the company of armed rangers and expert guides as you enjoy fire-cooked meals and get into bed between clean covers.
Your typical safari is about to take a dramatic turn. Walking safaris + Trekking Holidays in Africa take place in some of the top game reserves in Southern and Eastern Africa, so visitors can expect to see lots of animals. However, the real spectacle is in the minute details of their surroundings, such as a spider web adorned with dew, timid flowers, and clumsy insects. Elements of culture also play a role, such as when you meet local ranchers or tell tales to your guide. Upon spending a day or two on this captivating continent, formalities fade, conversations around the fire go late into the night, and you have a deeper understanding of its attractions.
Before you dive into our suggested walking safaris + Trekking Holidays in Africa, make sure you know where to go. Throughout East and Southern Africa, we have scouted out the top reserves and walking adventures. Ask one of our Safari Experts about the finest combinations for an easy and gratifying way to extend your trip with a few days at a tropical beach resort or safari lodge.
