If your client's love language is adventure and excitement, then look no further for thrilling activities in stunning locations that are bound to make your blood rush. Visitors can choose a challenging trek to the summit of Africa's second highest peak, Mount Kenya, paraglide over Kerio Valley, or even experience a safari in style on camel or horseback.

Visitors can also enjoy a spectacular view of the great wildebeest migration from the skies on a hot air balloon every July to October at the world-renowned Maasai Mara Game Reserve. They can raft down the River Tana taking on the rapids, dive the depths of the Indian Ocean and swim with whales and dolphins, or view some of Africa's greatest shipwrecks.
