We compiled an overview of the most popular destinations for adventure travel.


Safari in East Africa

You can watch National Geographic for years, but nothing compares to the opportunity to see wild animals of Africa with your own eyes. Tourists can watch newborn giraffes hunting lions pride or try foot safaris. The standard tour includes visits to at least three national parks and reserves in Kenya and Tanzania.


Galapagos Islands

Many companies offer cruises around the famous Galapagos Islands - the homeland of elephant turtles. Tours that provide for landings on land are less common, but are cheaper. Their main plus is the opportunity to walk on foot in the wild and get to know the wild wild flora and fauna of the Galapagosses.


Safari with gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda

People have always been interested in large apes. Places where you can watch them in the natural environment, there is not much left. Basically, these are foggy volcanic peaks of Uganda and Rwanda. In the three best reserves of gorillas of Africa, you can find four of the five species of hominids: mountain and plains gorillas, chimpanzees and dwarf chimpanzees.


Rafting in the Grand Canyon

Descent on the river in the Grand Canyon, tourists are often called the best adventure in life.

Those for whom such a review is not enough, must certainly try to raft on the waves of the Colorado River. The lesson is quite safe, but it is guaranteed to be remembered for many years.
