🦍🐘 Why Combine Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania?

Combining a safari in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania offers the best of East Africa’s biodiversity, culture, and iconic experiences:

• Uganda is home to the rare mountain gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimpanzees in Kibale, and the dramatic scenery of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

• Kenya is renowned for the Masai Mara, its vibrant cultures, and incredible wildlife densities — especially during the Great Migration (July to October).

• Tanzania offers the legendary Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and idyllic beaches on Zanzibar for a relaxing end to your journey.

By combining all three, you unlock a panoramic safari experience that spans lush rainforests, volcanic craters, savannahs, lakes, and tropical coastlines.
