A breathtaking safari through the African Rift Valley and Masai Mara, plus an opportunity to see the endangered Mountain Gorillas This safari includes a journey through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha; the amazing Masai Mara for an exceptional two days of game viewing. Then on to Lake Nakuru, home to an incredible variety of birds and wildlife including the endangered white and black rhinos, elusive leopard and in season, a million flamingos. Crossing into Uganda, there is the option of an exhilarating day's rafting on the Nile at Jinja and a visit to see chimpanzees on Ngamba Island. Plus Rwanda for the highlight of the trip - the opportunity to see gorillas. This close-up encounter is arguably the most sensational wildlife experience of them all.
TRIP HIGHLIGHT Full Service Itineraries
Following client feedback we have now made a large range of classic southern African trips full service itineraries. This means that when camping you don't have to worry about putting up your tent, cooking or washing up, and you are able to concentrate on the spectacular surroundings. This shift to full service has meant an increase in price for many trips, but has also led to a reduction in the maximum group size on some, and led to more lodges and hotels being used in the popular locations. For those who still want to muck in, a selection of departure dates on the two trips on this double page spread offer you the flexibility to choose between participatory and full service departures. The participatory departures are marked with a in the Dates and Prices box. The Kenya & Tanzania Adventure itinerary will be slightly different to that published here, please see Trip Notes for details.
