The overall activity level of this tour is a level 4. This means you’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This tour includes several early morning game drives with departures at 6:00 a.m. When travelling in Africa you will encounter full days of sightseeing, frequently in warm temperatures. In order to fully experience the wildlife, you will be travelling by safari vehicle which requires climbing in and out frequently and travel on bumpy and dusty roads.
