Adventure & safari

If you want to experience a real adventure holiday, the choices are diverse from hiking in the Andes to white water rafting in the foothills of the Himalayas. If safaris appeal, try the diversity of southern Africa - explore the stunning Okavango Delta in Botswana or the dry plains of Namibia with its rare desert elephants and oryx.

For a stimulating start to the day, take a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania and watch the sun rise over Mount Kilimanjaro. Take a jeep safari with experienced guides and discover the hidden surprises on the plains of Africa – here you can see the big five in action from lions and leopards to herds of elephant and the increasingly rare white rhino. Round off the day with cocktails in the bush, soaking up the dramatic sunsets and listening to the silence of the wilds. This is a perfect way to unwind and stimulate the senses.

With a range of accommodation to suit all budgets and styles, the ultimate safari experience is a few days in a five star tented camp in a private game reserve – this is luxury living with lodges constructed almost entirely of wood and glass. Although you may be sleeping under canvas or thatch, the surroundings are anything but basic with luxurious interiors, exotic bathrooms and fabulous dining under the dramatic African sky dotted with thousands of stars and dominated by the stunning Milky Way.
