Whether you’re watching a silverback gorilla in its natural habitat, descending 600 m to the volcanic Ngorongoro Crater floor, or spending time with a Hadzabe community in Tanzania, this 18-day trip will create dream-level travel memories. Journey through Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in search of some of the world’s most mythologised animals. Along the way, meet locals and gain an understanding of the diversity of cultures in east Africa – from the Maasai tribespeople to villagers on the outskirts of Queen Elizabeth National Park and the residents of Kigali’s Nyamirambo neighbourhood.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.

2. This trip requires a higher non-refundable deposit (AUD1000, USD1000, EUR800, NZD1250, GBP650, CAD1000, ZAR8000, CHF900) in order to secure the included gorilla permit. Please note that we need to confirm availability of a gorilla permit if you are booking within 45 days of departure. The additional deposit paid at the time of booking will be credited to the final balance of your booking.

3. This itinerary includes two optional sunrise balloon safaris—one in the Maasai Mara and another in Serengeti National Park. These can be pre-booked to secure a place, at the same cost as booking locally. You’re welcome to decide once on the ground, but keep in mind that this is a popular activity, and places are limited.

4. Some governments currently have increased foreign travel advice in place for Uganda due to Ebola outbreaks in the region. Please check your government’s latest travel advice, including any health screening or quarantine requirements that may affect your onward travel, and ensure your travel insurance covers all destinations and activities on your itinerary.

5. Some of the optional activities listed require transport, which is not included in the activity price. Private transport may be required for certain activities and is charged as a flat vehicle fee which can be shared by up to 5 travellers. Where activities are in the same area, travellers may be able to share transport. Final costs vary depending on the number of participants.
