Extreme
adventure enthusiasts will relish
the wide selection of high-adrenaline
activities available in Africa.
For adrenaline
seekers, Africa provides what
is reputed to be the world's highest
commercial bungee jump (216 meters
/ 709 feet) and the wildest one-day
whitewater run in the world (Zambezi
River). Also on the menu are great
white shark cage dives; hiking
to the top of Kilimanjaro; abseiling
and gorge swings; flying fox;
scuba diving and snorkeling; surfing;
mountain biking; rugged coastal
hikes; and more.
The range
of activities seems endless, with
forest canopy tours, forest hikes,
mountain biking, off-road 4x4
trails, desert and wildlife safaris,
hot air balloon ascents, ocean
safaris (whales & dolphins),
canoeing and jet boating on the
Zambezi, elephant-back trails,
black water tubing and cave tours,
to mention a few.
Our guests
are reminded that there are risks
inherent in wildlife and adventure
travel.
Africa
offers an even wider range of
soft adventure and family activities,
including safaris.
Adventure
Tours
Imagine rolling
across the savanna in your 4x4
safari vehicle, tracking Africa's
wildest animals. Hear lions calling
the pride to hunt as you sit around
a campfire under the African stars.
Step up your
heart rate on a canoe or walking
safari!
Safaris are
available within all the major
wildlife parks, reserves and private
concessions of Southern and East
Africa. Best time to go varies
significantly from region to region,
influenced to a major extent by
prevailing climatic conditions,
wildlife migratory behaviors and
even breeding cycles. Abacus Safaris’
team of consultants will gladly
assist with detailed information,
options, suggestions and help
with your travel planning and
arrangements. There is no additional
charge for this service.
Other extreme,
family and soft adventures are
concentrated in the Cape Peninsula
and Garden Route regions of South
Africa, the vicinity of Victoria
Falls (Africa’s adventure
capital), Namibia’s Skeleton
Coast, Mount Kilimanjaro, the
off-shore islands of East Africa
and Mozambique, and the shores
of Kwa Zulu-Natal (South Africa).
Share
the sky with the vultures, on
a tranquil yet exciting balloon
flight over the Serengeti plains
and the famous Masaai Mara; or
trek to the roof of Africa* (19,340
feet / 5,895 m)) and earn bragging
rights for years to come.
*Mt. Kilimanjaro is the highest
free standing mountain in the
world.
