Uganda and Kenya safari adventure that blends thrilling wildlife encounters, rich cultural experiences, and breathtaking natural landscapes across two of East Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. This journey introduces you to the best of both worlds—from the lush tropical rainforests of Uganda to the endless savannah plains of Kenya’s Masai Mara.
Your safari begins in Uganda, known as the Pearl of Africa, where you’ll explore the source of the Nile River with an exciting white-water rafting experience in Jinja. From there, venture into the pristine forests of Kibale and Bwindi for unforgettable encounters with chimpanzees and the endangered mountain gorillas. Continue your adventure across Uganda’s diverse national parks including Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo, offering exceptional game viewing and boat cruises.
In the second leg of your journey, fly to Kenya’s world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, where you will witness incredible savannah wildlife. If your trip coincides with the Great Migration, you may be lucky to see millions of wildebeest and zebras moving in a powerful, awe-inspiring spectacle from Tanzania’s Serengeti into the Mara—a true natural wonder.
