Horse-riding on the Beach - If there was ever a perfect way to explore the beauty of the African coastline, it has to be on horseback. Imagine the sensation of galloping along pristine, sun-kissed shores with the waves crashing at your side, the wind in your hair and sea spray touching your bronzed cheek.  Tucking your feet up in the stirrups, you can meander along the sand, taking in the salty sea air as you go. Imagine cantering through the waves, feeling the thrill of the water and wind on your face.

Desert exploring - Buckle up for an adventure through ever-shifting desert landscapes, with nothing but sand dunes and sandstone cliffs as far as the eye can see. Climbing some of the biggest (and oldest) sand dunes in the world, such as Sossusvlei in Namibia, will take you on an exploration in a world few people ever get to experience. You’ll walk in awe of the vastness of the Namib desert, appreciating it for its sense of stillness and openness. Hiking up dunes that rise out of the desert bed like mountains, you can contemplate the immensity of nature and life itself.  Then sleep under a blanket of stars that night, pondering your own insignificance whilst gazing at the vast night sky.

Gorilla Trekking - If you’ve ever dreamed of walking with gorillas, consider a gorilla trek in Uganda or Rwanda. You can find tribe-like families of gorillas by hiking through the winding mountain jungle trails, with the magical glimpse of a silverback male, a mother nurturing her younglings. This is one of the rarest and most touching experiences you can have and will satisfy anyone’s craving for adventure wildlife sightings.
