Outdoor adventures today take travelers to more places than previous generations dreamed possible. And although there aren’t many unexplored places left in the world, there are more ways than ever to experience them. You can hook up trailer that transforms into mini-yacht or join the #vanlife nomads. Take personalized guided tours around the globe or choose to spend time really getting to know one special destination. Here are a few Berlin Travel Festival outdoor adventure highlights to ignite your imagination and get you on the road.
Free and Wild
G Adventures offers twenty incredible wildlife tours—endorsed by renowned primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall. Their Animal Welfare Policy, which calls for all G Adventure partners and suppliers to adhere to Five Freedoms for animals, has been praised by Goodall. The twenty tours in this series offer a unique opportunity to truly see animals in the wild. From Kenya to the Galápagos to Ecuador, these adventures create awareness, protect wildlife, and empower local communities—staying true to the G Adventure mission.
Pancakes and Sunrises
When we think about #vanlife, after the romantic visions of sunrises and the desert and star-filled skies, thoughts usually turn to the practicalities: showering, staying warm, and a food that doesn’t come from a can. Mercedes-Benz MYVAN has you covered, at least for the last one. In addition to offering advice and tips for every aspect of life on the road, they’ve also compiled a series of recipes that are good enough to make from the comfort of your apartment. Pancakes on the road? It’s totally doable. Leaving it all behind is more comfortable than ever.
Go With the Flow
Summer is approaching fast—really, we promise! Instead of booking a flight, planning a tour, choosing a hotel, renting a car, deciding on activities, why not just hook up a SEALANDER floating caravan to your vehicle and go where your heart and intuition take you. With enough room for daytime relaxation, cooking, and sleeping, the SEALANDER becomes a private island of your own. Imagine spending the summer months cruising the canals of Venice, Amsterdam, Bruges, Utrecht, or Hamburg. True to SEALANDER’s motto: “The shore is no longer a limit—it’s an invitation.”
Wild Wild Life
The dynamic young duo behind safariFRANK, Gesa Neitzel and Frank Steenhuisen, met after they both decided to find their own paths and become safari guides in South Africa. Only a few years later they created safariFRANK to share this experience with others. Some might take the more traditional route with one of their safaris designed for photography, cycling, boating, or even specific specie, but others feel the call of the wild themselves: for those, safariFRANK offers a number of ranger courses—from trial courses to career-launching professional training. Can you imagine yourself tracking tigers and observing wild elephants? Then, as they say, there’s no time like the present.
