East Africa's Premier Safari Destinations

Kenya - The Birthplace of Safari

Kenya offers classic safari experiences in the Masai Mara, Amboseli (with Kilimanjaro views), Tsavo, Samburu, and Lake Nakuru. The annual Great Migration sees over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras cross from Tanzania's Serengeti to Kenya's Masai Mara between July and October. Kenya also boasts beautiful Indian Ocean beaches and rich Maasai culture.

Tanzania - The Safari Heartland

Tanzania is home to the Serengeti (site of the Great Migration), Ngorongoro Crater (the world's largest intact caldera), Tarangire (famous for elephants), and Selous (Africa's largest game reserve). Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, and the spice islands of Zanzibar add to Tanzania's diverse attractions.

Uganda - The Pearl of Africa

Uganda offers exceptional primate experiences including mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest. The mighty Nile River at Murchison Falls, tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains make Uganda uniquely diverse.

Rwanda - Land of a Thousand Hills

Rwanda provides accessible mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, chimpanzee encounters in Nyungwe Forest, and Big Five safaris in Akagera National Park. Its clean, organized cities and remarkable recovery from the 1994 genocide make Rwanda an inspiring destination.

Democratic Republic of Congo - The Adventure Frontier

DRC offers adventurous experiences including gorilla trekking in Virunga National Park (Africa's oldest national park), hiking active volcanoes like Nyiragongo with its lava lake, and tracking lowland gorillas in Kahuzi-Biega.
