ACTIVE AFRICA : Overland Adventure Tours

" �.the tour was exactly what we were looking for - what a great way to see such a special place, and in such capable hands !...."
Carolyn and John Bartholdson, USA.

Intense in the value of the experience. Intense in that we try to get in as much activity and diversity as possible within the time that you are with us.

"Seeing while doing" is our philosophy on these trips. Our adventures are not hard core - how extreme you want to go is up to you - but we do aim to take you out of your comfort zone, to get you to experience something different. The views seem greater, the colours brighter, the air sweeter and your senses sharper when experienced from horseback, mountain bike or under the steam of your own two feet.

At a ratio of 1 to 5, you are guaranteed personal service from your guides, all of whom are qualified field guides and adventurers in their own right. Our accommodation consists of tented camps and chalets, and when you are not feasting at one of the venues carefully selected for their choice local cuisine, you are dining on the legendary meals prepared by your guides.

Go High & Dry with Intensity Tours!

Focused on the West Coast of South Africa, our adventure tours are designed around the theme "High and Dry" - activities that get you high into the hills and high on adrenaline, while the sunny West Coast climate keeps you warm and dry. Intensity Tours operates a 9 day and a 4 day High & Dry tour, and has recently added the popular High & Dry Weekend Getaway, a selection of two 2.5 day tours to the same area.

9 Day High & Dry

A full exploration of the Cape West Coast, traveling from Cape Town along the coast to the fishing village of Lamberts Bay, traversing inland through Rooibos Tea country and past legendary Bushman rock art to a remote missionary station before hiking into the heart of the Cederberg Wilderness area. Your journey is interspersed with horseback rides on the beach and through wilderness areas, quad-biking and sand boarding on majestic dunes, hiking and abseiling amongst dramatic rock formations, mountain biking downhill on dusty roads and wilderness trails, all washed down with thrilling rock jumps into crystal clear mountain pools.

Culinary treats along the way, aside from the meals expertly served up by your guides, include traditional Khoisan and Afrikaans fare, and the warm west coast hospitality of a seafood barbeque right on the beach. If you dare, the last day is spent in training for a tandem sky-dive from the deep blue skies above Citrusdal, before soaking away the stress in natural hot springs en route back to
Cape Town.

4 Day High & Dry

This trip leaves Cape Town directly for the heart of the Cederberg Wilderness area to explore this wonderful heritage of mountain flora, soaring peaks, endless skies and hidden hamlets. The excitement of activities such as hiking and abseiling, mountain biking and horse riding are tempered with walks past ancient bushman rock art, a visit to a remote missionary community, refreshing dips in clear mountain pools and toasts to the magnificent sunsets with quality West Coast wines. Accommodation on this tour is in comfortable chalets and while the traditional Khoisan meal is a mouth-watering memory on its own, your culinary experience is completed when you take a leisurely ride on horseback along the beach to enjoy a seafood lunch under the sun en route back to Cape Town.
