trip highlights
A well-rounded experience of the best of East Africa
3 NIGHTS in the Rainforests Of Rwanda Or Uganda
Come face-to-face with mountain gorillas
Trek through misty rainforests in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Volcanoes National Park to see mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Observe silverbacks, playful juveniles, and nurturing mothers during an unforgettable hour of close-up encounters and deep connection. Lush forest sanctuaries offer you a gorgeous homebase from which to explore the dense jungle by day. Sitting on your veranda, you will be captivated by views of the volcanoes and native birdsong. Fireplaces, robes and warm bathtubs make rooms exceptionally cozy.
3 NIGHTS in the Serengeti
Abundant life on the open plains
A bucket-list African icon destination, the Serengeti National Park is expansive and exquisite. Tented camps are handpicked for prime locations throughout the year – tucked into the grassline, this is the perfect way to experience this environment. There is a wide range from migration-chasing mobile tented camps that move seasonally around this vast wilderness, to luxury lodges that anchor prime areas along the river. Spot lions resting on rocky outcrops and great herds roaming freely. Sunrise balloon flights and evening sundowners create timeless safari moments.
2 NIGHTS in the Ngorongoro Crater
World within a world
Explore the extraordinary Ngorongoro Crater, where complete ecosystems thrive within the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Travel to a land before time, where dense concentrations of game – predators and prey – wander placidly within an otherworldly landscape. A truly unique and immersive phenomenon. Choose between cozy lodges with fireplaces, perched on the rim of the crater with outlook views; or elegant farmstays nestled into lush coffee plantations in the foothills below.
3 NIGHTS in the Tarangire-Manyara Region
Wildlife corridors and cultural encounters
Private conservancies between Lake Manyara and Tarangire offer walking safaris, cultural visits and remarkable scenery where elephants roam marshlands beneath Rift Valley skies. These parts are less touristed and give you the best sights to yourself. Gorgeous lodges operate with a deep commitment to conservation and are dedicated to protecting these important corridors for wildlife to thrive. Beyond the wildlife, you can immerse yourself into the community by going long-distance running with the local Maasai tribespeople; or join a classroom of local kids for a game of netball.
