Why we love it
“According to David Attenborough, glimpsing gorillas in the wild is the greatest wildlife encounter on Earth, and we wholeheartedly agree. This epic East African adventure will tick those epic gorilla encounters, a 'Big 5' safari and much more off your travel bucket list with a trip that's fully bespoke and tailored to your needs. You'll soon be exploring Kenya's wildlife-rich Masai Mara before flying to Uganda and enjoying an incredible gorilla trekking experience, alongside our incredible local team in both Kenya and Uganda who'll offer expert knowledge and pioneer responsible tourism.”

Destination
01 Jul - 02 Jul
Nairobi
Much more than just a stopover, Nairobi is emerging as a destination in it's own right and has a lot to offer. From day trips to the giraffe sanctuary to some of Africa's top restaurants, we recommend a night here if possible to break up the safari. The international airport is the hub of East Africa.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Gorilla trekking is the big drawer to the region, and for good reason. This is the best value place to see mountain gorillas on the planet and there really is no experience like it. The lodges are all eco-friendly and boast stunning views over the Virunga range. Domestic flights are the best way to get here and road is also an option for the more adventurous.
