There are breathtaking flying sights in Eastern Africa that so far have hardly been explored. Soaring along one of the steep escarpments of the Masai Mara and landing among herds of wildebeest and antelopes and within sight of a group of elephants and giraffes is a magical experience. Similarly, after flying high above the Kerio Valley, the Laikipia Plains or the Great Rift Valley into the sunset and landing next to a small village, it will take only a couple of minutes and you will have at least a hundred kids and almost the same number of adults running towards you, all touching your paraglider (and you) to see what weird thing came down from the sky. This will be one of the many moments in Africa you will certainly never forget.

Little known, Kenya offers several golf courses with international standard. The combination of golfing and safari is the main draw, combined with the fact that Kenya offers perfect weather conditions for golfing all year round. With increasing interest in the sport, the quality of golfing facilities is improving every year. For golfers looking for new challenges, we offer you a swing at Eastern Africa's best golf courses.

Walking safaris were the original form of safari as it was the only way to get around for the earliest pioneers. It is a great way to explore Africa's great wilderness regions as it allows you to get closer to animal and plant life. You will not get as close to predators as on a game drive but you have the opportunity of very close encounters with many other animals including elephant and rhino. Many of the camps and lodges in private reserves will arrange half-day walking safaris as an alternative to heading out on game drives. In addition, we can organize longer walking safaris that can last between several days and two weeks.

Kenya's camel safaris are walking safaris in all but name, as few people would wish to spend days on a camel when they could be strolling by their side at much the same pace. You'll usually walk for two to four hours or so in the early morning and relax through the heat of the day, with the opportunity to stroll further in the afternoon and evening.

There is nothing more exciting than cantering alongside the elegant motion of a giraffe or galloping amongst the great wildebeest migration. In Eastern Africa, it is possible to ride for hundreds of miles without seeing a fence post. Horseback safaris are a fantastic experience and you will get extremely close to game as the movement and shape of the horse disguises your human form. There are many places that offer short half-day rides, though serious equestrians can choose from specialist horseback safaris lasting days or weeks, fly-camping out under the stars and getting up at dawn for up to six hours in the saddle.

Canoe safaris are possible in some of Kenya's and Tanzania's national parks, for example in Lake Manyara and Arusha National Park while Selous and Saadani in Tanzania are fantastic places for boat excursions. The Quirimba Archipelago in Northern Mozambique is a great place to discover pristine island paradises on multi-day kayaking trips

For a touch of adrenaline, whitewater rafting can be done on several Eastern African rivers. The most stunning and wildest white water in Eastern Africa is undoubtedly a 30 kilometer stretch of the Nile River in Uganda. As the river meanders through beautiful scenery, rafters encounter mighty challenges of some of the best grade V rapids in the world. Kenya also offers several rafting opportunities, from grade II family float trips to exciting whitewater and expedition style multi day river journey's.

Whether you would like to see Gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda, Enchanting Africa will help you to design your perfect Africa tour which will enable you to combine Gorilla Trekking or Chimpanzee Trekking with other safari activities. Your trip to discover these endangered Mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat in the Bwindi forest of Uganda and the Rwandan Virunga Volcanoes will be an experience of a lifetime.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda is a real equatorial jungle, inhabited by four Gorilla groups, each led by a silverback male. This forest is a sanctuary for almost half the world's population of mountain gorillas; the rarest species of gorilla. Within the protected Parc National des Volcans (Virunga Volcanoes) in Rwanda, the exhilarating climb to the gorillas’ natural habitat of densely shaded bamboo forest offers fantastic views in all directions. Even more is the fact that you will likely be amazed and get immersed in the mysterious intimacy of the rainforest, alive with the calls of colourful birds and the chattering of rare golden monkeys.

An encounter with a fully grown silverback gorilla is an awesome and rewarding moment for anyone. Though three times the size of an average grown man, they are remarkably peaceful and tolerant of human visitors and will offer you one of the richest and most memorable wildlife experiences to be found on this planet.

The East African coastline with its long history of seafaring is dotted with fascinating places and islands to visit - all best approached by sea. We can arrange sailing trips all along the Eastern African coast, ranging from sundowner cruises to trips lasting several weeks. Sail to remote and unspoilt reefs, watch schools of dolphins swimming alongside the boat and be mesmerised by migrating Whale Sharks. Many yachts have diving equipment on board and are a great base from where to explore the rich and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, white sandy deserted beaches and palm fringed islands.

Anglers love Africa for the sheer variety of fishing opportunities that vary hugely in character. The Indian Ocean is known for its deep-sea fishing, and many lodges can arrange game-fishing boats and skilled skippers to give you the best chance of catching marlin or sailfish. You can also fly-fish for trout and yellowfish in the upcountry rivers of Kenya and catch Nile perch in Lake Victoria. For more modest tastes, we can arrange for you to join coastal fisherman on their early morning fishing trip on a traditional dhow off the coast of Lamu or to fish for tilapia alongside the locals in the shallows of an African lake, and get your catch cooked for supper.

Africa's colourful birdlife is an enchanting feature of the bush, and for many people spotting the individual species adds a fascinating extra layer to their safari experience. Almost all African countries have plenty of bird species to boast about, but for the sheer number of species it's hard to beat Uganda and Rwanda, with their combination of habitats ranging from snow-capped peaks to lakes the size of Ireland, swelled by annual migrants that fly in from as far away as Siberia and Norway.

Africa's mountains offer unparalleled hiking opportunities, with ecosystems changing with each metre you climb. We can arrange expeditions that climb Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru in Tanzania, Mount Kenya, both the Kenyan and Ugandan sides of Mount Elgon as well as Uganda's Rwenzori Mountains, complete with skilled guides and porters where required. We can also arrange multi-day trekking trips, for example in Kenya's Chyulu and Loita Hills or in Tanzania's Crater Highlands and Usambara Mountains. For more adventurous hikers we also offer trekking in northern Kenya and around Lake Turkana, for example Mt Ololokwe, Mt Lossos, Mt Kulal and the Ndotos.

You can combine a polo holiday with a safari in Kenya and base yourself on a farm in the Great Rift Valley where horses are trained for polo and you can join a local team for games of polo. There are also several polo clubs in Kenya, for example in Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru and Timai.

For the fit and adventurous, biking through Eastern Africa is truly an exciting experience! See Africa, the people and wildlife from the ground as you cycle through deserts, forests, up mountains and down valleys. Wind your way through tiny villages and bustling market towns into a true wilderness where you cycle past herds of antelope, graceful giraffe and inquisitive zebra. Following tracks and paths through the countryside, you avoid the main roads and traffic, getting truly off the beaten track as you explore the East African countryside. We can arrange mountain biking as a one-day activity as well as multi-day biking trips.
