This trip takes in some of the smaller, but more rewarding East African National Parks. Their soda and fresh-water lakes are abundant in bird and wildlife and there are rare opportunities for walking safaris. An optional highlight of this trip is trekking through the rainforests of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park or Virunga Mountains in search of the protected Mountain Gorilla. For a different type of adrenaline experience you can try your hand at quad biking, kayaking or whitewater rafting in Uganda.
Note: This is one of our Overland Adventures which are run on a participatory basis – you’ll be involved in the day to day running of the trip and have fun helping to cook for the group. Expect to sometimes get dusty and dishevelled and not to be able to have hot showers every night. Groups of up to 24 people are led by our crew of two.
Accommodation is predominantly camping, though there may be opportunities to upgrade this locally where rooms are available. Our Overland Adventures provide once in a life time experiences and whilst some safari activities may be included in the itinerary, or be available to book locally, this should not be considered a traditional safari holiday, though we consider that part of the fun!!
Note: From 1 Jan 2025 the itinerary for this trip will be adjusted. Lake Nakuru National Park and Musanze will be removed and visited on our return journey to Nairobi after this trip finishes in Kigali. The following visits and activities will be added
2 nights at the Masai Mara (morning and afternoon game safaris included)
Forest walk at Kakamega Rainforest
Lake Mburo National Park (optional evening and morning game drives, game walks, night drives in search of leopards, boat cruises to see hippos and crocodiles etc.)
