- Trek through Uganda's steamy forests with expert gorilla trackers and a local ranger to seek out rare mountain gorillas. Spend an unforgettable hour in their presence, watching how they play, laze in the sun and groom each other.
- Head out on an early evening game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park, in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. This plat is famous for its rhino population, so you’ll have a good chance to snap a photo of these gorgeous beasts.
- Explore Serengeti National Park – a wildlife arena like no other – and look for lions, leopards, elephants and giraffes during daily safari drives.
- Embark on a hike through the Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, through mountains, rainforests and local villages, to the Irente viewpoint. Then, stop at a local farm on the way back for a picnic lunch with the locals.
- See what it’s like living in Zanzibar with a walking and street food tour of Stone Town – visiting the markets and tasting some local fare.

Customer reviews & ratings
.
RosaMaria Jan, 2020 VerifiedGorillas, Game Parks and Beaches was an outstanding trip. We saw so many amazing animals, scenery and villages. Our trip leader, Lelei, was wonderful. He worked tirelessly to insure that everything went perfectly for us. Both our driver Kim and our cook Wilson were terrific, Kim with long hours of occasional very tricky roads and Wilson who prepared excellent meals in less than ideal kitchens! Can’t wait for my next trip!
