For wildlife enthusiasts, tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat in Tanzania follows in the footsteps of pioneering British researcher Jane Goodall, through Gombe Stream National Park and time on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
Don a leather jacket and get your street cred on the back of a Harley Davidson riding through the streets of Cape Town, rumble down to Kalk Bay and learn to bake bread and cook fresh fish.
For a safari with a difference there are four romantic houseboats to cruise in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, either cruising the Zambezi, Chobe River or Lake Jozini.
Elephant-back safaris are extraordinary experiences through Zambia watching wild animals from an elevated position.
A five-night taster trek takes climbers to the 4.985m Point Lenana on Mount Kenya to soak up the magnificent views. No technical climbing is involved.
All these exciting adventures are backed by Kuoni’s renowned service and experience in these countries. They are mostly small group tours and whether on a self-drive or small escorted tour group, clients are ably assisted by Kuoni’s expert guides and ground handlers.
