Itinerary

Vast savannahs, shimmering lakes, and the vibrant heart of Africa—"Gorillas & Plains" is an epic 15-day wildlife tour spanning Kenya and Uganda, designed for travelers seeking the ultimate safari and primate trekking adventure. Starting and ending in Nairobi, this guided journey immerses you in renowned game parks and up-close encounters with some of the continent’s most iconic species.

Kick off with classic game drives in the legendary Masai Mara, where lions, elephants, and wildebeest roam freely. Continue to Lake Nakuru for more wildlife viewing before crossing into Uganda, with a stop in Jinja—the source of the Nile—where optional activities like white-water rafting await the adventurous.

Your journey intensifies in Murchison Falls National Park, home to the thunderous falls and a rich array of wildlife. Then, venture into Budongo Forest Reserve for a guided trek in search of chimpanzees, getting a firsthand look at their fascinating behavior. The true highlight follows: a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where you’ll have the rare opportunity to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—a transformative wildlife experience.

On the return to Nairobi, optional rhino trekking and scenic drives through the Great Rift Valley add further depth. Accommodation options range from classic camping (with provided tents and camp beds) to comfortable lodge upgrades, ensuring flexibility to suit your preferred comfort level.

What sets this tour apart is its unique blend of exhilarating safari, immersive primate trekking, and authentic local encounters. For those who crave meaningful wildlife experiences beyond the ordinary, "Gorillas & Plains" delivers Africa’s raw beauty and unforgettable moments.
