Deep within East Africa's landscapes, the giants thrive. Mountain gorillas beat their chests in Rwanda's forests, elephants march between the baobabs of Tarangire, and wildebeest form huge herds in the Serengeti. Hippos, black rhinos, giraffe and lions and on an East Africa adventure these incredible mammals become the landscape. Combining two gorilla treks with three Tanzanian parks and Kenya's Masai Mara, this 13-day safari focuses on encounters with these enormous animals.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Arusha – Relaxing Amidst the Coffee Plantations
Smells of fresh coffee and the scent of adventure will welcome you to East Africa. Your plane will touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport, and it is a short transfer to your luxurious cottage hidden amongst the coffee plantation. Picturesque gardens roll out from your private deck and tranquility seems to float across the land until the silence is disturbed by the wild bushbabies that call from the trees. The adventure will start properly tomorrow, but the random sounds of wildlife quickly ensure that you already feel a part of Africa.
