What to do in Southern Africa

Walk With A Maasia Tribe

Embark on a sensational adventure with the Maasai on a trek across the rural Southern African Land. The tall and colourfully dressed Maasai will guide us along paths usually only reserved for the wildlife, sharing their knowledge on the beautiful landscape around, with stories of tribal life in the harsh African plains.

 

Summit Kilimanjaro

Ascending Kilimanjaro represents a truly remarkable milestone, marked by an exquisite fusion of natural splendor, individual achievement, and the bonds formed through shared adventures. The mountain's stunning landscape, accessibility for dedicated trekkers, and the sense of triumph upon reaching the summit create an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact.
