What Awaits You in East Africa

1. Gorilla Trekking in the Lush Forests

• Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda) and Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) are home to the world’s few remaining mountain gorillas.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience allows you to get close to gorillas in their natural habitat, making it one of the highlights of an East African trip.

2. Epic Wildlife Safaris

• Witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara or Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, a natural spectacle like no other as thousands of animals move across the savanna.

• Enjoy game drives across the plains, spotting the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino), along with countless other species in breathtaking landscapes.

3. Relax on East Africa’s Stunning Beaches

• Head to the white sandy beaches of Mombasa (Kenya) or the paradise island of Zanzibar (Tanzania) for a relaxing coastal escape. East Africa’s beaches are perfect for unwinding, snorkeling, diving, and soaking up the tropical sun.
