Walking Holidays in Africa

Africa Walking Holidays

Africa is a vast and diverse continent made up of stunning landscapes and skylines pierced by imposing peaks, such as the Atlas Mountains, Kilimanjaro and the Drakensberg Mountains, so it’s no surprise that walking holidays in Africa are popular with adventure seekers. Mt. Toubkal, located in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and standing at an impressive height of 4,167m, is the highest peak in North Africa.

The ascent to the summit is undoubtedly hard going but the rewards exceed the challenges. As well as being treated to magnificent views of the surrounding valleys and peaks on Africa walking adventure holidays, you’ll also encounter the local Berber people and learn about their culture and traditions.

Another iconic destination for walking holidays in Africa is Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the continent, which reaches 5,895m. Although the climb to the summit isn’t technically demanding, it does require stamina, determination and acclimatisation. There are various routes to the summit which steer you through diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to barren alpine deserts. The sense of accomplishment once you’ve reached the summit is incomparable.

The Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and you’ll find a range of trails and hikes that meander through picturesque valleys, where ancient rock art gives you a glimpse into the past. Wildlife lovers will be in their element at Kruger National Park as it’s home to the famous Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) as well as many other species. Madagascar is another biodiversity hotspot that boasts unique flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth, and our Trekking in Madagascar introduces you to its national parks, lemurs and traditional villages.

B Hawkins Discover Namibia – Camping

As an Exodus staff member, I joined this trip with plenty of knowledge about our adventures, but experiencing Namibia first-hand exceeded my expectations. This was so much more than a traditional wildlife-viewing holiday. From tracking white rhinos on foot and watching animals gather at Etosha’s waterholes throughout the night, to visiting a cheetah conservation centre that provides a home for four cheetah siblings, every stage offered something memorable.
The combination of extraordinary wildlife encounters, beautiful landscapes, cultural insights and evenings around the campfire made this a truly immersive adventure. It is ideal for anyone who wants to actively experience Namibia rather than simply observe it through the window of a safari vehicle.

An African safari has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. This has been an incredible and unforgettable adventure. This tour was full of so many special and memorable moments. It surpassed anything I could have imagined.
