We believe this itinerary packs the most
excitement in 13 days, because travel times between the three countries
Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda are less than an hour! In addition, roads
transfers are minimized, allowing you to experience more wildlife and less
of the bumpy, dusty roads!
Phase 1: Rwanda
Here you will spend 2 nights at the Parc des Volcans and complete 2
gorilla treks visiting 2 different families on 2 separate days.
You will also tour the city of Kigali and the Genocide Museum. You will
have a private vehicle and guide throughout your stay.

Be sure to look at the lodge descriptions at the top of the web pages.
Phase 2: Uganda
You will spend a full day on the beautiful and very exciting Nile River
doing some of the most exciting whitewater rafting in the world! No
experience necessary! If you don’t want to get wet, you can spend an
additional night with the chimps at Ngamba Island instead.

At Ngamba, you will get to walk with the chimpanzees (including babies)!
They will hold your hand as they lead you through the forest where they
live! It is an experience you will never forget.

Phase 3: Kenya
The Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara is said to be nature’s greatest
wildlife spectacle! You will be in the midst of
about one million animals and the predators that follow them on their
migratory routes!
For the best overall experience we offer 5 nights at the famous Mara River
in a small luxury tented camp.
