East Africa Safaris & Cross-Border Combinations

East Africa – never-ending grass plains; amazing sunsets; a variety of landscapes filled with wildlife; white beaches with azure blue waters; and much more. This is the true definition of a safari destination! Tanzania and its neighboring countries Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda deliver a classic “Out of Africa” safari experience that should not be missed! Yet, each country is unique in itself!

Tanzania and Kenya definitely rang first place as the ultimate safari countries. The majority of travelers will visit Serengeti in Tanzania or Masai Mara in Kenya to witness the Great Migration – a highlight shown in the National Geographic or Discovery Channel documentaries. But Kenya is not just the Masai Mara – it has a huge variety of different parks and countless lakes along the Rift Valley.

Intrepid travelers may want to experience a much different side of East Africa and travel further west to encounter mountain gorillas in the lush rainforests of Rwanda and Uganda. A gorilla tracking experience is a life changing safari experience. Following an uneven path through the thick mountain forest may be challenging, but it is a great way to encounter these animals!
