This is always a tricky safari type to describe. As one person’s extreme adventure may be considered quite tame by another. But we've pulled together our sample safaris and game lodges & camps which offer the greatest opportunity to be active and adventurous whilst on safari in Africa.

There's a wideΒ range of adventure safaris!Β Some on foot, some by canoe or mokoro, some on horse back or even mountain bike. Exactly what’s on offer varies from camp to camp.

Our adventure safaris offer the greatest opportunity to be out and about. You won't be just sitting in a game vehicle. But that’s where the similarity ends.

Some are focused around staying active such as our South Africa and Victoria Falls Adventure . This is great for honeymoon couples, but open to anyone who likes to stay on the move. Others are adventurous simply because of the remote wilderness areas they visit. Yet others offers a more adventurous mode of travel and accommodation such as mobile camping safaris...

Similarly many walking safaris in Big Game country are adventurous safaris because of the very nature of the experience. But we highlight those under walking.
