Kenya Safari and Rwanda Gorillas

Your tailor-made itinerary

This truly memorable holiday is for those wanting the bucket-list experiences of an authentic Kenyan safari AND the chance to track the rare mountain gorilla in the equatorial forests of Rwanda. For your safari you will fly over the vast plains of Kenya's famous Masai Mara and stay in the spectacular Angama Mara Lodge, located high above the floor of Africa's Great Rift Valley, with breathtaking views. The reserve is home to some of Africa's most prolific wildlife. Year-round the park is teeming with elephants, lions, leopards and a host of other game. During the month of July and October, the annual wildebeest migration transforms the landscape and adds to an already outstanding safari experience. During your stay you can experience game drives, hot air ballooning, walking safaris, cultural visits to neighbouring Maasai villages - or simply do nothing at all.

Before heading off to Rwanda you will have one night in Nairobi staying at Giraffe Manor. Here you will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of close up encounters with the semi-habituated giraffe as they put their heads through the windows at breakfast. The giraffe are always keen to be hand fed!

From here it is off to the exceptionally beautiful Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. You will stay at Bisate Lodge with its dramatic views of the peaks of the volcanoes Bisoke and Karisimbi rearing up through the Afro-alpine forests. The main focus of the stay will of course be tracking the mountain gorillas, a particularly special encounter, but you can also track golden monkeys, go on hikes and visit Dian Fossey's grave and research. You will also be invited to participate in our biodiversity conservation efforts, as well as engage and meet the local community.
