African Adventure

THE EXPERIENCE
From awe-inspiring, soaring peaks to vast plains teeming with wildlife to spellbinding forests, Africa is a treasure trove of exhilarating, enlightening, jaw-dropping adventures — and it offers some of the most challenging terrain to get you fit. This mesmerizing, 21-day tour takes you through Uganda and Tanzania, up Kilimanjaro and down the river Nile. And while you marvel at the sites, our dedicated personal trainers will ensure you get the workout and nutrition you need to return from your African experience in peak physical condition.
Our list of African adventures includes:
• Gorilla watching in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Listed as a must-see place by National Geographic magazine, Bwindi is one of the richest ecosystems in the world. In addition to interacting with the park’s famed, endangered gorillas, you will conquer a 5-8 hour trek, keeping your eyes peeled for the stunning array of colorful birds, exotic mammals, spectacular butterflies and indigenous plants that call this jungle home.• Wildlife safari on the Serengeti Plain
Experience the Serengeti ecosystem that hosts the largest concentration of wildlife on Earth, brimming with around 70 species of mammals and more than 3 million birds. This is the home of the circular Great Migration, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Each year, between January and March, over a million wildebeest travel from the southern plains, where they give birth, north to the Mara River and back. To add to the spectacle, about 260,000 zebra and hundreds of thousands of gazelles, lions, cheetahs and hyenas, also make the journey. You will have a chance to witness these great sights by plane, 4×4 and on foot.• Climbing and trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro
Walk in the footsteps of legends as you explore Mount Kilimanjaro. Take in its cultivated foot slopes; its lush mountain forest inhabited by elephants, leopards and buffalo; and its moorland zone, covered with gigantic heather and studded with lobelias. Prepare for the unparalleled experience of summiting Kibo, the mountain’s highest peak, 5,895 meters above sea level pushing your fitness level further.• White-water rafting on the River Nile
Test your fear levels while rafting down the world’s longest river and explore the famous Victorian “source of the Nile.” Here the Nile flows out of Lake Victoria to begin its 6,650 km journey to the Mediterranean.• Mafia Island experience
Relax and enjoy the island’s world-famous deep-sea fishing and scuba dive among the mystifyingly beautiful coral formations. Gaze in wonder as giant sea turtles lumber up the beach to lay their eggs in the white coral sands of the island’s famous breeding grounds.____________________________________________________________________________________________
