Safari expedition in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania with a holiday in Zanzibar

We start our Uganda tour early in the morning or the day before. The first place we visit is Kibale Forest National Park.

The drive will take approximately 5–6 hours and pass through the green landscapes of the Ugandan countryside. We will stop for lunch along the way and arrive in Kibale in the evening, where we will check in at our lodge.

Today we are going to trek to the chimpanzees and the Bigodi Swamp.  The Bigodi Swamp is also known as a place where a large number of different monkeys live: colobuses, vervets, mangabeys, etc. Of course, the nature of the Ugandan jungle, boiling with life and sounds, will be for us on this day. We return to Kibale.

We transfer to Jinja, where we will enjoy a boat cruise on the Nile. After the boat cruise, we head to our guest house in Jinja. 

This day will be devoted to the Nile. An organised rafting experience led by a professional team will be available for travellers who enjoy active adventures. Those who prefer a quieter programme can take a guided walk to the source of the great river.

After the programme, we will transfer to Entebbe and take an evening flight to Nairobi. Upon arrival in Nairobi, we'll head to the hotel. We'll check in and rest after a busy day.

After breakfast, we will leave Nairobi and travel to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The road will pass through the Great Rift Valley, while the urban landscapes gradually give way to the endless Kenyan savannah.

The Masai Mara is a large reserve that is an extension of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Together with the Serengeti, the Masai Mara is home to a huge number of animals. Nowhere else in the world is there such a concentration of them. The park is also known for being part of the route of the Great Animal Migration in East Africa.   

Today, we will spend the whole day wildlife watching in the Masai Mara National Park. We will also have a choice of additional optional tours, such as a hot air balloon ride or a visit to the Maasai village. In the evening, we head back to the lodge.

After breakfast, we will say goodbye to Masai Mara and return to Nairobi. Along the way, we will once again enjoy the landscapes of the Kenyan savannah and the Great Rift Valley.

Upon arrival in the capital, we will be transferred to our hotel, where lunch will be arranged. After check-in, we will have free time to rest before the next part of our safari journey.

After breakfast, we will meet our driver-guide and travel to Amboseli National Park, famous for its panoramic views of Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival, we will check in at our camp and have lunch.

In the afternoon, we will set out on safari among open savannah, wetlands and seasonal lakes. Amboseli is particularly known for its large elephant families. Lions, cheetahs, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, impalas, hyenas and numerous bird species can also be seen here. In the evening, we will return to the camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, we will leave Amboseli and travel south to Namanga, the border crossing between Kenya and Tanzania.

After completing the required immigration and customs formalities, we will be met by our Tanzanian team. Together, we will continue to Arusha, check in at our hotel and prepare for the next part of our great African safari.

In the morning we head to Tarangire National Park for a full-day safari.

Tarangire is part of the northern safari route alongside Ngorongoro (which we will visit tomorrow) and the Serengeti National Park. The park is remarkable for the river of the same name, which dries up completely in the dry season. 

On the last day, we will have a safari in the Ngorongoro Nature Reserve, a unique place on the planet, a reserve located in the crater of an extinct volcano, and it is here that animals live in unimaginable numbers. There is no problem to see a zebra, wildebeest, lion or elephant, there are all animals in abundance in this park. In the evening, we will fly to Zanzibar. The Arusha–Zanzibar flight is included in the programme price.

This marks the end of our great expedition through Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, while Zanzibar offers a wonderful opportunity to continue the journey and relax on the island after an eventful safari.
