THE BACKPACK > back to home page

Search for Africa's Big5* animals in their natural habitat, from an open 4x4 vehicle in a malaria-free private game reserve. Then you get the opportunity to bungy jump, swim in the Indian Ocean, ride on an elephants' back and even walk alongside lions - Africa's most majestic preditor.

Set your sense of adventure free...  Walk along forest footpaths, crawl underground in the Cango Caves, canoe along the Wilderness lagoon and discover the abundant wildlife in this untamed wilderness.
