Peaks, Plains & Primates
Three countries in twelve days — Kenya's Rift Valley, Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and mountain gorillas in Uganda.
A genuinely ambitious itinerary for travellers who want the whole region in one trip. It combines the classic Kenyan and Tanzanian parks with a Bwindi gorilla trek — three ecosystems that could not be more different from one another.
Internal flights keep the driving manageable, and the Uganda gorilla permit is included.
