Embark on an epic Trekking Trip with Active Africa.

There’s something so special about exploring the world’s stunning landscapes on foot. Our founder, Chris Goodwin, boasts a wealth of experience trekking across continents, and his passion for the trail has helped him to create the perfect itineraries for our guests to trek in comfort and safety.

These range from long-distance walking safaris across the savannah to multi-day treks up Mt Kilimanjaro. They include wilderness treks in the mountains of the Cape and primate tracking on the slopes of volcanoes. But why restrict it to our home continent? Chris affectionately calls Iceland his second home and has tramped many miles of the spectacular volcanic landscape. We love to create bespoke treks! So drop us a line to start planning your next trekking holiday.

Happy Heritage Day! Today, while we celebrate Sou

Happy Heritage Day!

Today, while we celebrate South Africa, we also honour the beauty and richness of each African country's heritage.

Africa is home to some of the most beautiful countries in the world, each with vastly different landscapes and wildlife. While the landscapes are unbelievably beautiful, what makes Africa genuinely unique is its cultural heritage. Each country you visit has its own tribes, languages and cultural differences, allowing you to experience countless adventures on one continent.

Today provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the importance of preserving Africa’s heritage for future generations and celebrating its shared cultural and natural treasures.

At Active Africa, we create opportunities for you to engage, learn, and connect with the local communities and through these experiences, you gain an innate understanding of the heritage that has shaped these countries for generations.

Nestled on the border of Uganda and the DRC, the R

Nestled on the border of Uganda and the DRC, the Rwenzori National Park, also known as the "Mountains of the Moon”, boasts some of Africa's most remarkable mountain trekking.

Known locally as The Rainmaker, these mountains are adorned with afro-montane rainforests, unique mountain flora, and alpine-style summits crowned by some of the largest remaining glaciers on the continent.

This trek is not for the faint-hearted, though! While we were incredibly lucky with the weather we experienced, it can be wet and foggy if you time it wrong. It is also a true mountain range with high passes, ridgelines and plenty of valleys, which means it requires a certain level of fitness.

We used the Kilembe trail, which took eight days to summit on the highest point at Margarita Peak on Mount Stanley. Still, the area offers a variety of options for shorter journeys and several other lower peaks to summit.

Whatever route you choose, you are guaranteed an adventure through some unexpectedly stunning scenery!

Kibale National Park is a true gem of Uganda, boas

Kibale National Park is a true gem of Uganda, boasting a community of 120 habituated chimpanzees amidst a wild population of around 1400 chimps.

We are currently en route to climb in the Rwenzori Mountains and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore this lush park. We spent the morning surrounded by melodies of Turacos and Hornbills calling, as well as the echoing shrieks of the chimpanzees guiding us to their location. Among them, we encountered the dominant male captured in this photo, a powerful figure searching for fruits on the forest floor. We sat in silent admiration for nearly 30 minutes, making eye contact with this extraordinary creature - one of mankind's closest relatives.

Our itineraries blend primate safaris with active adventures, allowing you to explore beyond the ordinary.

One of our favourite cultural experiences so far w

One of our favourite cultural experiences so far was our encounter with the Sapeurs of Brazzaville in the Congo.

The Sapeurs, or the Society of Ambianceurs and Elegant People, are a group of fashion enthusiasts who have transformed style into an art form. In the bustling streets of Brazzaville, we were greeted by a vibrant and dynamic community that embraces fashion as a means of self-expression. What made this cultural experience truly special was the genuine passion and pride the Sapeurs exuded…

We can’t wait to share the spirit of the Sapeurs with YOU!
