BEST OF UGANDA AND KENYA SAFARI PACKAGE
Overview
This 6-day flying safari to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Masai Mara National Reserve takes you to two of East Africa's premier wildlife destinations.
Masai Mara is one of Kenya's most iconic safari destinations, renowned across Africa. Located in the southwestern part of Kenya, it borders the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, one of Africa’s top wildlife parks. The reserve features a mix of rolling hills, expansive grasslands, and acacia woodlands, all supporting an incredible diversity of wildlife. The reserve is particularly famous between August and October when the dramatic wildebeest migration crosses into Kenya from Tanzania.
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi offers a life-changing experience, paired with a stay in a luxurious lodge overlooking the dense forests. The sounds of primates and birds will surround you, as you relax amidst the stunning montane forests, terraced hills, and volcanic slopes. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, situated in the southwest of Uganda near the Rwanda-Uganda border, is home to half of the world's remaining endangered mountain gorillas. The park’s rich history, with rainforests dating back over 25,000 years, adds to its allure.
