Where to Go on a Wildlife Safari in East Africa
Uganda – the Pearl of Africa – combines Big Five wildlife safaris in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth with mountain gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, plus the famous tree-climbing lions of Ishasha and the remote wilderness of Kidepo Valley.
Kenya, the home of the safari, is renowned for the Maasai Mara and the Great Migration, the elephants of Amboseli beneath Kilimanjaro, and the flamingo-lined Rift Valley lakes.
Tanzania offers the endless Serengeti plains, the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater, and a Zanzibar beach finale.
Rwanda pairs gorilla trekking in the Virunga volcanoes with a growing Big Five wildlife safari scene in Akagera National Park. Many travellers combine two or more of these countries into one unforgettable wildlife safari.

Types of Wildlife Safari
No two travellers want the same trip, so our wildlife safaris come in many forms. Classic game-drive safaris explore the savanna parks in 4×4 vehicles in search of the Big Five. Boat safaris on the Nile, Kazinga Channel and Lake Mburo bring you close to hippos, crocodiles, elephants and waterbirds. Primate safaris add gorilla and chimpanzee trekking to your wildlife adventure, while birding safaris target East Africa’s 1,000-plus species including the rare shoebill.
We also arrange family wildlife safaris with shorter drives and kid-friendly lodges, honeymoon safaris blending game viewing with romance, and photographic safaris built around the best light and sightings. Tell us your interests and we will match you to the ideal wildlife safari.
