Uganda and Tanzania Trekking and Safari Adventure
This is an East Africa adventure safari which includes tracking gorillas in the mountainous rainforests of Uganda’s Bwindi National Park, and following the wildebeest herds of the famous migration in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park.
Your trip starts with a stay at the luxurious Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp in Bwindi National Park where you will experience first-hand what it is like to see mountain gorillas in the wild. Following Uganda, you will fly directly by light aircraft into northern Tanzania where you will get a chance to take in the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, both must-see safari destinations. With the great migration in full flow throughout the year, you will stay at Nyasi Migrational Camp, a mobile tented camp in the Serengeti to maximise your chances of being in the right place at the right time. If for any reason, you miss the herds, you will not be disappointed by the sheer volume of other wildlife on offer in Tanzania including lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants, buffalos, giraffes, and many many more. For your journey into the Ngorongoro Crater and for your full stay in the Serengeti, you will have your own private safari guide and vehicle allowing you to explore at your leisure.
