It is one of the once-in-a-lifetime safari experiences you will ever have. This tour visits Tanzania’s renowned Serengeti National Park, where you’ll see a variety of wildlife during your game drive, especially the noteworthy Great Wildebeest Migration. It also visits Tarangire National Park, which has the largest herds of elephants, and Lake Mayara National Park, which is home to lions that can climb trees. Additionally, this journey will take you to Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, and then to the renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s top reserve and one of the best in all of Africa.
After experiencing wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya, this tour will cross another east African border, bringing you to Uganda, also referred to as the “Perl of Africa.” Uganda is well-known for many things, including the most powerful waterfalls in the world that can be found at Murchison Falls National Park, but its top draw is without a doubt the opportunity to go on a safari while tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
