Trip Highlights

Why you'll love this trip

  • Come face to face with rare mountain gorillas in the forests of Uganda with the help of expert rangers and trackers.

  • Venture into the Serengeti on a 4WD safari – a quintessential East African experience. Think vast plains spotted with thorn trees and huge herds of zebras and gazelles.

  • Trek in search of chimpanzees in Kalinzu Forest Reserve and spend an hour observing how they play, feed and communicate with each other.

  • Spend the night in a Maasai village in the remote Loita Hills region – be welcomed with traditional warrior song and dance, learn about life from community elders and maybe even learn to throw a spear.

  • Search for wildebeest, lions and leopards on a game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve, then listen to the African wilderness come alive after sunset at your bush camp.
