here are a huge variety of activities to be enjoyed in your tailored itinerary. These include:

 

HORSEBACK RIDING ~ Gentle rides can be enjoyed in a number of locations while on safari. Approaching zebra and giraffe from a horse is a breathtaking experience. For guests wishing for a more adventurous riding experience, please look under 'Horseback Safaris'.

 

BIRD SHOOTING ~ A few days or an entire safari can be dedicated to hunting a variety of fowl in the region. The emphasis is on a sporting experience where typically our bag limits are low, but the shooting is challenging and fun.

 

Bird shooting seasons are February-March and July-October.

 

Game birds available include: Guineafowl, Sandgrouse, Francolin, Spurfowl, Quail and Dove. Daily bag limit is twenty birds per gun.

 

WALKING SAFARIS ~ For those who enjoy solitude and adventure, a walking safari (sometimes assisted by porters and camels) comes highly recommended. An intimate experience with nature and the thrill of being on foot in big-game country is difficult to beat.

 

FISHING ~ The Giant Nile Perch is available on Lake Victoria, Rainbow Trout in the highlands and wonderful deep-sea fishing on the Indian Ocean.

 

TRACKING THE GREAT APES ~ The Albertine Rift is home to a variety of primates, but most noticeably the great apes – chimpanzee and the Mountain Gorilla. Tracking these near-human species in thick forest is an incredible experience.

 

ORNITHOLOGY ~ There are well over 1,000 different bird species in East Africa. For the keen ornithologist, there are several locations well worth visiting. The colours and characteristics of the avifauna are remarkable.

 

ANTHROPOLOGY ~ East Africa is the root of mankind. There are several palaeo-anthropological sites to visit of particular interest. On request, either Drs Meave or Louise Leakey may join us to share their immense knowledge in this field.

 

OTHERS ~ Include: hot air ballooning, night game drives, mountain trekking, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, helicopter flying and sailing safaris.
