Southern and East Africa — spanning Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, and beyond — is one of the world's most rewarding regions for adventurous travellers. It's home to iconic wildlife destinations like the Serengeti plains, the Okavango Delta fringes, and South Luangwa National Park, as well as natural wonders including Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe-Zambia border and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Lake Malawi offers pristine freshwater diving and snorkelling, while Tanzania's Zanzibar archipelago draws visitors with its white-sand beaches and Swahili culture. The region is a magnet for safari-goers, overlanders, hikers, and travellers seeking deep cultural experiences across diverse landscapes and ecosystems.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southern & East Africa (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
