Overland
Activities
|
Africa is one of
the world's leading adventure destinations
and overland tours offer some exciting activities. At Victoria
Falls, get wet and wild in the rapids of the Zambezi River,
fly a microlight, helicopter
or impossibly small plane over the smoke that thunders, or throw
yourself into the Zambezi Gorge on a bungi
jump. In Namibia slither down towering sand dunes by sand board,
explore the desert terrain by quad bike, or
jump out of a plane on a skydive. In Botswana, fly over the
Okavango Delta, watch elephant from a boat on the Chobe River,
track wild dog by foot or simply float through
the delta in a mokoro. In Kenya, let the air
currents carry you across the Masai Mara in a colourful hot
air balloon, go wreck diving or explore the long coral
reef that stretches along Kenya's 900km coastline. |
 |
A wide variety of
adventures await you on your overland trip, and as terrain and
climate differ from country to country, so do activities. An
activity such as Gorilla Tracking is confined to Uganda, yet
bungi jumping is an adrenalin rush you can experience in just
about any country that has a treacherous gorge and a bit of
elastic. |
 |
All activities
are optional and are selected for their value for money, enjoyment
factor and feedback from previous overland clients. Optional
activities are not included in the tour price for three simple
reasons: |
 |
| • |
Not everyone can afford to do them all. |
| • |
Not everyone wants to do them all. (No point in throwing
yourself out of a plane if you can't bear heights!) |
| • |
We leave the running and safety of these
specialised activities to the people who do them best.
We take you there and then let the professionals take
care of you in pursuit of your thrills and spills.
