Gorilla’s & Masai Mara (EXD) – 15 Days

A breathtaking safari through the Rift Valley, Masai Mara and Uganda with the option to see the endangered gorillas

This safari starts with a journey through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Naivasha. Next is the prolific Masai Mara for an exceptional two days of game viewing. The Mara is home to a multitude of plains game and we are also likely to see lion, elephant, cheetah, and maybe even leopard. Lake Nakuru, home to a million flamingo, is our next stop. A sanctuary for rhino, it also possesses a good predator population including tree-climbing lions. Crossing into Uganda, there is the option of an exhilarating day's rafting on the Nile at Jinja and a visit to see chimpanzees on Ngamba Island before heading into Rwanda for the highlight of the trip - the opportunity to see gorillas. This close-up encounter is arguably the most sensational wildlife experience of them all and is a fitting end to a remarkable trip.

Please read the Code of Conduct for visiting the wild mountain gorillas in pdf format.
