Standing between four and five feet tall, the semi

Standing between four and five feet tall, the semi-nomadic Ba'Aka tribe have lived autonomously for centuries in the 'Lungs of Africa.'

Among the Ba'Aka tribe, a fascinating cultural practice is the ritual of carving their top teeth into sharp, shark-like points during childhood. This tradition, typically performed around the ages of nine or ten, involves the individuals biting down on a stick while their teeth are meticulously shaped using a rock or machete.

At Active Africa, we believe in going beyond the ordinary - with a commitment to creating authentic, unique cultural experiences for our clients.

Tamang used his savings to set up his son, Kumar (right) with a coffee shop in Namrung. Active Africa guide, qualified barista and food snob, Michael highly rates the pour over coffee and apple pie connoisseur, Chris rates the baked organic apple pie the “best ever”!

Icelandic serenity.

Vestmannaeyjar is an archipelago off Iceland’s south coast, formed by underwater volcanic eruption and home to the largest puffin colony in the world.

This tour included Reykjavik to the Golden Circle and up into the Southern Highlands and then across to the Westman Islands where we completed an alternative loop to avoid the crowds at Eldfell.

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the land of fire and ice with us, and let Iceland weave its magic into your very soul.

Fancy a taste of camel’s milk?

In Kenya's Samburu region, goats, sheep, and camels hold a special place in the local diet. Their milk is not only cherished for its nourishment but also as a symbol of prosperity.

But here's the heartwarming twist: In Namunyak Conservancy, surplus goat and camel milk is sold to the Reteti Animal Orphanage where it becomes vital nourishment for orphaned elephants and giraffes.

With Active Africa you will experience the captivating Samburu culture and their symbiotic bond with wildlife.

Africa is a vast continent with a wide variety of trekking options ranging from long-distance walking safaris across the savannah to multi-day treks up Mt Kilimanjaro. We also include wilderness treks in the mountains of the Cape and primate tracking on the slopes of volcanoes.

Our trekking itineraries represent some of our favourite and most popular destinations, however with resources across the continent we are able to curate bespoke treks on request too (at different grades to accommodate both the intrepid traveller and the more experienced trekker).

Discover Africa from new heights!

Visiting a vulture restaurant may not be on your bucket list, but it's an experience you shouldn't miss!

Direct and indirect poisoning and traditional superstitions are the major threats to vultures throughout Africa.

For nearly two decades, the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge has been feeding these endangered birds, providing them with safe food comprising of raw scraps and carcasses from their on-site restaurants.

Guests have the opportunity to witness the spectacular sight of hundreds of vultures swooping down to feed as well as learn about the ecological importance of vultures and the challenges they face.

We certainly recommend adding this to your Vic Falls visit!

Active Africa’s focus is on providing private tours with off-the-beaten-track active adventures.

Our roots lie in the mountains of the Cape, and as a result, many of our tours take place in mountainous environments. This could mean a leisurely bike ride in the foothills or an exhilarating weeks-long trek at high altitudes.
