Summary

In just 19 days, you'll take on three of East Africa's most legendary destinations. Trek in search of gorillas, chimps and rhinos in Uganda, cruise the Nile, explore Kenya's Maasai Mara and dive into Maasai culture before heading into Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. You'll travel as one crew in a safari truck with your Trip Manager, chef, assistant and driver, making every day part of the adventure. Best part? You can camp under the stars without lifting a finger (thanks to your very own Camp Manager), or kick back in a chalet-style stay instead.

Included Experience

  • Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: Venture deep into Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of mountain gorillas. With expert guides leading the way, you#ll trek through thick jungle before spending one incredible hour observing a gorilla family up close.
  • Kalinzu Forest: Step into Kalinzu Forest with local trackers and listen out for the calls of wild chimpanzees. You#ll hike through dense jungle before watching these clever primates swing, climb and do their thing in the wild. Please Note: The Chimp Trek might take place in a different forest or different day depending on permit availability.
  • Queen Elizabeth National Park: Our drive from Kalinzu Forest to our accommodation for the night means we get to do a scenic drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park. It may be a simple ride through the reserve, but there#s still plenty of opportunity to spot wildlife along the way, with stops made for animal sightings and photos as we journey through Uganda#s famous savannah landscapes.
  • Queen Elizabeth National Park: Snap the classic Equator photo near Kikorongo and casually stand in two hemispheres at once.
  • Murchison Falls National Park: Enter Murchison Falls National Park with a scenic transit game drive to our home for the next two nights. Keep watch for giraffes, elephants, buffalo and antelope as we roll through Uganda#s largest national park.
  • Murchison Falls National Park: View the top of Murchison Falls - watch the Nile force its way through a narrow gorge before crashing below, with viewpoints that absolutely earn their place on the camera roll.
  • Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary: Follow expert rangers through Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a seriously special encounter with Uganda#s only wild rhinos. You#ll learn how these legends are being protected, then spot them in the bush from a safe distance.
  • Nairobi: Meet the dedicated team and see for yourself the work being done to help the women and children who live here in the Kibera slum.  
  • Maasai Mara National Reserve: Known for its grassy plains and rolling hills, home to lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos, the Maasai Mara is a jewel in Africa#s wildlife crown, so don#t miss your chance to explore it from sunrise to the afternoon, with a picnic lunch in the wild. 
  • Amboseli: Get that iconic wildlife shot with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.   
  • Amboseli: Get up early in search of the famous elephants in this iconic Kenyan National Park. 
  • Arusha: Support this social enterprise that employs local disabled people with artisanal skills. Watch weaving, glass blowing, beading, paper making and metal work. 
  • Serengeti: Watch out for local wildlife as we head to our camp, which is bang in the middle of these endless plains. Could the location be any more epic?   
  • Serengeti: Was that lion we heard last night? Let#s go find out. Take an incredible morning drive in search of the wildlife we heard throughout the night. 
  • Serengeti: Cruise around the plains at sunset to explore new areas and spot a few more animals before they head off to bed. 
  • Serengeti: Another day, another game drive, giving us the most amount of opportunities to see the wildlife that roams these plains.
