East Africa, and the desert beyond it.
Four East African countries built on the same savanna corridor, plus one Gulf city that most of our travellers add on for the contrast. Every region below is one we operate in ourselves.
Kenya
The Maasai Mara & the Great Migration
Open savanna stretching to every horizon, the thunder of wildebeest crossing the Mara River, and evenings around a fire under an unfiltered sky.
- Maasai Mara migration safaris
- Amboseli & Mount Kilimanjaro views
- Lake Nakuru flamingo colonies
Tanzania
Serengeti plains & the roof of Africa
From the endless Serengeti to the crater walls of Ngorongoro and the spice-scented lanes of Zanzibar, Tanzania holds the full range of East Africa in one country.
- Serengeti National Park
- Ngorongoro Crater
- Kilimanjaro treks
Uganda
Mountain gorillas & the source of the Nile
Misted rainforest, mountain gorilla families in Bwindi, and the white water of the Nile as it leaves Lake Victoria — Uganda rewards travellers who go further off the map.
- Bwindi gorilla trekking
- Murchison Falls
- Source of the Nile, Jinja
Rwanda
The land of a thousand hills
Volcanoes National Park, terraced hillsides, and a capital city, Kigali, regarded as one of the cleanest and safest in Africa — compact, dramatic, unforgettable.
- Volcanoes National Park gorillas
- Lake Kivu
- Kigali city & genocide memorial
Dubai
Desert dunes to the tallest skyline on earth
Trade the savanna for the Arabian desert — dune bashing at sunset, the view from Burj Khalifa, souks, and a coastline of engineered islands.
- Burj Khalifa & Downtown
- Desert safari & dune dinners
- Dubai Marina & Palm Jumeirah
