The Ultimate East African Odyssey: Primates, Plains, and Paradise
Overview
Mountain Gorillas, Beach & Game Safari – 12 Days Safari Holiday Vacation to Kigali City, Volcanoes National Park / Parc National des Volcans, Serengeti National Park and Ras Kutani Beach.
Experience the best of East Africa on this unforgettable 12-day safari adventure.
Embark on the definitive African journey, a 12-day masterclass in contrast and splendor.
This is not merely a holiday; it is a profound transition from the misty, volcanic peaks of Rwanda—home to the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas—to the vast, cinematic golden plains of the Serengeti, and finally, to the pristine, sun-drenched sanctuary of the Tanzanian coast.
In Volcanoes National Park, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to track mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Mountain gorillas are critically endangered, and Rwanda is one of the few places in the world where you can see them in the wild.
In Serengeti National Park, you will have the chance to see the Great Migration, one of the most spectacular wildlife events on the planet. You will also have the opportunity to see other iconic African wildlife, such as lions, elephants, leopards, and rhinos.
At Ras Kutani beach, you can relax and unwind on the beautiful white sand beaches and enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
Every lodge is hand-selected for its intimate atmosphere, and every moment is crafted to ensure you experience East Africa at its most authentic and refined.
Designed for the traveler who seeks the perfect alchemy of high-octane adventure and soulful relaxation, this bespoke itinerary invites you to witness the heartbeat of the wild and the tranquility of the Indian Ocean.
This safari is perfect for travelers who want to experience the best of East Africa, from its mountain gorillas to its Big Five wildlife to its stunning beaches. It is also a great option for travelers who are looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway.
Best Time to Visit
We recommend the dry seasons: June to October. During this period, the gorilla trekking trails are firm, the Serengeti grass is shorter (making wildlife easier to spot), and the coastal weather is pleasantly balmy—perfect for both adventure and relaxation.
