Active adventure tours

Active adventure tours are interest-based tours that connect travellers to nature and culture while exploring destinations around the world. Hike, bike, swim, thrill activities and mountaineering your way through jaw dropping scenery, all while being surrounded by other likeminded travellers. Active adventure tours take place across the Uganda and East Africa in many different locations and range in activity level and interest type. Active tours are usually led by an expert who knows the terrain, local customs and cultural and who can help you navigate the destination.

What is an Active Adventure Tour?

Hiking Rwenzori Mountain Ranges in Uganda…scuba diving in Zanzibar…climbing the highest peak in East Africa…rafting the powerful Nile River…if any or all of these adrenaline-charged activities appeal to you, consider making a Uganda and East Africa active safari adventure part of your next vacation.

Outdoor activities — whether it’s trekking, biking, hiking, boating or camping — add an exciting element to travel. For every tourist who simply wants to lie on a beach, tour museums, go shopping or eat their way through a country, there are many travellers who wouldn’t dream of giving up exercise while on the road. With an adventure tour, not only are you enjoying the great fresh air in the outdoors while exercising your body, you’re making some pretty incredible memories with your traveling companions, too. After all, imagine the stories you’ll be able to tell after you conquer the summits of Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Rwenzori or conquer your fear of fast-moving water after white-water rafting on the Nile!

Adventure tours typically take participants off the beaten path. Because activities are usually based in remote locations, you’ll learn so much about local culture and customs on an active adventure tour. Our specialized adventure itineraries have been honed for years and Safari Experience Managers and local outfitters have their clients’ safety in mind at all times.

When you choose an adventure-filled itinerary, take note of the skill and ability levels that our Safari Tour Manager recommends. While some adventure tours might welcome novices of the sport, many do require some level of fitness. You certainly don’t want to show up in a to the starting line unprepared to trek across mountain ranges for several miles a day! Make sure you read and re-read the itinerary carefully, so you know exactly what you’ll be doing each day — and confirm that you’re down and game-ready for the type of accommodations (sometimes rustic) and meals (sometimes basic) that you’re paying for. Should you be physically and mentally prepared for the active safari adventure travel, this type of vacation can be incredibly rewarding.
