Adventure Time in Africa

A visit to Africa is often synonymous with adventure. There are just so many attractions and activities to sample and every African nation offers something novel and different to try out.

Head to South Africa for white shark diving or take meander through the verdant Garden Route. Looking for historical immersion? Head to the ancient Stone Town in Zanzibar, where locals seem to be perfectly preserved in an era passed, where cobblestone streets are the norm and fisherman use traditional dhows in their working harbour. Or how about some tropical leisure time at the beach? Try Mozambique or the Canary Islands, where shimmering blue waters and luxurious beach side accommodation awaits. Not too keen on kicking up your feet and soaking up some sun? Test your physical and mental endurance by tackling Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania instead.

Or try a safari instead.

Whatever holiday-making mood you’re looking for, there’s something for everyone somewhere in Africa. To arrange you dream African adventure, try African Travel Gateway.
