Intrepid Travel is expanding its active travel range in Africa with new premium itineraries for 2026, tapping into growing global demand for nature-based and movement-focused adventures. The new trips are designed for travellers seeking immersive, physical experiences paired with local cultural connections and elevated comfort.
A standout addition is the Premium Hiking and Trekking in Morocco itinerary, a nine-day journey that explores the country’s diverse landscapes – from the High Atlas Mountains to the windswept Atlantic coast. Guests trek through remote Amazigh villages, hike scenic desert trails, and unwind in premium riads and mountain lodges. The trip also includes cultural highlights such as a traditional cooking class and shared meals with local hosts.
Meeting the rising demand for wellness and movement
Intrepid reports a steady rise in active travel bookings, with its multi-active range growing 23 per cent year-on-year. The addition of new Africa-based adventures supports the company’s broader focus on wellness and outdoor travel, offering moderate to challenging physical activity for those seeking to stay active on holiday. All itineraries are graded between three and five for physical intensity, giving travellers a clear guide when choosing their adventure.
Designed for small groups and cultural depth
As with all Intrepid trips, the new active Africa itineraries are led by local guides and cater to small groups. This approach enhances the travel experience by encouraging authentic connections, access to off-the-beaten-track locations, and a deeper understanding of local cultures.
These new offerings give travel agents a fresh product to recommend for clients looking to combine activity, culture and comfort on the African continent.
