Adventure Experiences

Go on a canoe safari down the Zambezi, Mana Pools

After the rains come, the lower stretch of the Zambezi branches out onto the floodplains of Northern Zimbabwe. This natural waterpark is a haven and a canoe safari is the best way to explore this seasonal gathering, bringing you much closer to the animals than possible on the land - especially as you wend your way past harrumphing pods of hippo. Sit safely just a few yards from an unhurried pride of lions lapping at the water’s edge, paddle past elephants as they cross from one side of the Zambezi to another and enjoy the myriad of bird species that make their homes on the banks of the river. Crocodiles and hippos are in abundance and therefore these magical journeys are not for the faint hearted. This experience is always carried out with a highly qualified guide and can last anything from 2-3 hours to 2-3 days, the choice is yours.

Take a bike tour of Chianti from Florence

Trade the cobbles for the saddle: a guided ride up into the hills that ring Florence, led by someone who knows which lanes are worth the climb. You'll roll past vineyards and open countryside, Tuscan green running off in every direction, before the road opens onto the city's skyline laid out below — domes, rooftops and all. Set your own pace. Here, the pedalling and the looking get equal billing.

Explore the shipwrecks of the Skeleton Coast

Depart from your lodge, led by your all-knowing guide, to see for yourself why it's called the Skeleton Coast. Drive along the craggy coastline where the remains of boats tell the story of seafarers who lost their battle with the ocean and the bleached skeletons of whales stand eerily among them. Hear the legends and truths of these shipwrecks from your guide and stop to capture the most photographed wrecks in Namibia. As the fog rolls off the Atlantic Ocean, the surreal landscape becomes even more so!

Explore the historic city of Colombo by tuk tuk

Hop aboard a quintessential tuk tuk to explore the storied backstreets and tree-lined lanes of Colombo. As Sri Lanka's commerical capital, its modern design compliments ancient architecture. And a tour of Colombo always comes served with a slice of history! Get to know the ever-present culture of this fascinating city from the seat of a buzzing tuk tuk - it's a truly interactive way to see the highlights of Colombo!

Walking Como's Historic Centre

On foot with a local guide, this is Como's historic centre at walking pace — through sunlit piazzas and narrow cobbled lanes, the kind of streets where Como shows itself in small details rather than grand set-pieces. The walk builds to Como Cathedral, where Gothic and Renaissance sit side by side in a single façade and the spires catch the afternoon light. Private means unhurried. Linger where you like, and let your guide point out what you'd otherwise stroll straight past.

Go deep sea fishing off the south coast of Galle

Along Sri Lanka's idyllic and sun-kissed coastline, Weligama is any beach-lover's dream. It's here that you'll embark on a boat trip into the bay for a morning of deep sea fishing. Accompanied by an experienced crew, cast you line into the denim-blue water in the hopes of snagging some big names like sailfish or the more rare marlin. You can even choose to enjoy the view while you soak up some sun on deck!

Kayak through Aysen's Marble Caves

Why visit them on the outside if you can discover them on the inside? Come and be part of this great adventure, discover a unique place in the world, surrounded by turquoise waters and large rock formations. Go kayaking and get to know the Cathedral, Chapel and marble tunnel. Let yourself be surprised by one of the most beautiful landscapes with our kayak Guides entering the different formations, being able to appreciate and be in direct contact with nature.

Summit Kilimanjaro

Africa’s highest mountain is certainly no walk in the park. Standing close to the equator and yet maintaining a permanent snowcap, you know that summiting this dormant volcano is not for the faint of heart. Several days of hard fought trudging carries you away from the game plains, landing you at 5,895 metres just in time to take in the most spectacular sunrise you’re ever likely to witness. Hundreds of kilometres of flat savannah with dotted lakes, silver in the slanting morning sunlight, stretch away from your feet and add to the dizzying high of having conquered perhaps the most handsome of the ‘Seven Summits’.
