Mountain escapes across East and Southern Africa

Highlands, volcanoes and escarpments chosen for walking days, summit ambitions and quiet air after the plains.

Mountain escapes

These are elevated journeys we can weave into a private safari — summit treks, crater walks, forest highlands and granite massifs — only where the country and season support them.
