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.

The amount of wildlife we saw on our Exodus Travels safari in Kenya & Tanzania blew my mind! Elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, hyenas, many kinds of antelope, baboons, monkeys, hippos, rhinos, alligators, cheetahs, and of course…….. lions. This trip was a dream one true, 50 years in the making. Thanks Raymond/”Dolly” for being the perfect person to guide us on this splendid adventure!

Mandy Johnson Kenya & Tanzania Adventure

Had the most amazing time. Mohamed showed us a lot of fascinating places and explained the Moroccan way of life. He was an excellent tour guide. Some people had problems with their accommodations. Mohammed got these issues dealt with quickly and efficiently. Mohamed was enthusiastic, energetic, positive and very helpful. He explained everything very well. Kind, considerate, responsible! He is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the diversity of the country. Each day was another new and exciting adventure. We learned a lot. The riads were a true Moroccan experience and the hotels were also very nice. The Moroccans were polite, respectful, helpful and very friendly. We are truly are grateful to have had this experience in Beautiful Morocco. We enjoyed the small group experience and met nice people on our tour.

Lester Stypa Highlights of Morocco – In Comfort

This was an incredible trip from start to finish, with some unforgettable memories. Our tour leader was Mohammed – a humble and lovely guide that was passionate about his country, people, and culture – this just enhanced the experience- and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver Ahmed (may have the incorrect spelling) was a careful and considerate driver, that went above and beyond too in helping the group. And Morocco – what an amazing country – steeped in history and wonder. Exodus certainly take you off the beaten track to some incredible and different experiences! Thank you so much!
