Come on a journey with us to the wildest place in the world. Sleep in remote luxury under the stars, take a first-class walking safari through the Serengeti, hike the most scenic Mount Kilimanjaro summit route, meet the beautiful Maasai people and glide along the Okavango Delta past hippos and elephants - there is no trip in Africa quite like an Active trip.
