Hiking Programs Abroad

Do you spend your days staring out the window, wishing you could wander around in nature instead? Is wearing muddy shoes a point of pride for you? Would you rather spend your summer outdoors, hiking through the wilderness? A hiking tour abroad can offer you the chance to spend time outside while getting up close and personal with local wildlife, plants, and communities. Whether you’re interested in observing penguins for a conservation project or want to challenge yourself on a high-altitude mountain trek, a hiking trip abroad is the perfect way to immerse yourself in a new environment.

Exceptional Wildlife Encounters..

Gorillas and Savanna Our 7-day Gorillas and Savanna Safari was a perfect mix of forest and plains adventures. Herbert was our guide, and his knowledge of the parks enriched our journey. From trekking in Bwindi to watching lions and leopards in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the safari was packed with excitement. The lodges offered breathtaking views, and the staff’s hospitality made us feel at home. This trip showcased Uganda’s incredible biodiversity and reaffirmed our love for African safaris.

Why settle for a day hike around the same neighborhood pond when you can hike somewhere new and spectacular? Hikes in these places are spectacular.

Costa Rica offers travelers a wealth of options for outdoor exploration. On your hikes, you’re likely to spot monkeys swinging through the branches and toucans calling out from above. Be sure to look down too, at the leaf-cutter ants marching in pulsing lines across the forest floor. Any hiking in Costa Rica is guaranteed to bring you closer to nature and awe you with its colorful diversity.

For travelers who are interested in animal conservation, hiking in South Africa can be the perfect opportunity. Different regions offer hikers a range of experiences, from exploring ancient forests and wetlands to spotting whales and dolphins along the coast. Travelers can also expect to spot giraffes, elephants, and lions while on safari, or help maintain game reserves while learning about endangered species.

If climbing up steep mountains is more your style, check out hiking adventures in Ecuador. This South American country has it all: towering Andean peaks, tropical rainforests, and the incredible biodiversity of the Galapagos Islands. Hike up an old Incan trail at 14,000 feet and camp out under the stars, trek up an active volcano, or float down an Amazonian river while spotting rare birds.
