GORILLA TREKKING

One of the most memorable experiences on a safari is observing wild animals in their natural habitat. Join a chimpanzee trekking tour to visit a human-habituated chimpanzee community in the forest. Local trackers will guide you to ensure an optimal experience, where you can observe the creatures’ behaviors and dynamics from a safe distance. Take a guided primate walk into the ancient African forest, and spend an hour or the whole day walking with a wild chimpanzee troop, observing their social behaviors and antics in their natural environment.

CHIMPANZEE TRACKING

Gorilla expeditions in Uganda and Rwanda offer unparalleled opportunities to observe Africa’s extraordinary mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Join daily gorilla trekking adventures through tropical rainforests to sit close to gentle silverbacks and their families in serene surroundings. Trek alongside fully human-habituated gorilla groups or wild troops on a habituation experience guided by skilled rangers and researchers. Gorilla trekking is seamlessly integrated into various wildlife tours, perfect for explorers seeking an all-encompassing forest hiking experience as part of their wildlife safari journey.

Game drives offer a timeless safari experience, especially for those wishing to spot Africa’s Big Five. You’ll be driven daily through game reserves, stopping at prime locations for up-close wildlife encounters with lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos. It’s one of the most popular activities, perfect for families seeking a memorable safari getaway or travelers yearning to witness Africa’s most magnificent wildlife. With a new destination to explore each day, you’ll be chauffeured back to your lodging, allowing you to unwind and savor the rest of your journey at your own pace. It truly is a delightful fusion of adventure and relaxation!

HONEYMOON SAFARIS

It’s hard not to be fascinated by East Africa’s birdlife; the sheer diversity of species, sizes, and colors is astounding. The varied landscapes provide a rich habitat for unique and colorful birds. Birding safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, or Rwanda offer a treasure trove of species to discover. Expert guides lead immersive birdwatching excursions to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats, listen to their melodic songs, and witness their fascinating behaviors. Many birdwatching spots are located in national parks where you may encounter elephants, lions, and leopards while on your birding trail.

East Africa is the perfect introduction to the continent for first-time travelers. With abundant wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and expert guides, East Africa includes safari heavyweights like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and the Indian Ocean islands of Zanzibar and Seychelles.

Our safari specialists can help you tailor your first African safari with the utmost care without the stress of planning.

FAMILY SAFARIS

Planning a family safari with kids to view wildlife is an unforgettable experience that will fascinate the whole family, especially the children. A family safari vacation in Africa’s natural habitats will enthrall children and create lasting memories vital to preserving our dying natural world. Safari holidays typically involve traveling long distances, staying in remote locations with limited facilities, spending long hours in the bush searching for animals, requiring significant patience, and demanding safety precautions. As a result, Africa safaris are better suited for teenagers and adults. Our safari experts, however, can make the dream of taking your young children on an African wilderness adventure come true.

CANOEING ADVENTURES

This unique experience allows you to connect with the awe-inspiring wildlife and landscapes of the region in a serene and intimate manner. Accompanied by experienced local guides, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the area. A canoe safari offers a perfect complement to your gorilla encounter in Uganda, promising a refreshing and unforgettable experience that will deepen your connection to the natural wonders of East Africa.
