RWANDA & TANZANIA
Walking
on the
Wild Side
Embark on a joyful journey through two of East Africa’s most enchanting wildlife destinations: Rwanda and Tanzania.
In Rwanda, watch as endangered mountain gorillas roam the Volcanoes National Park, one of the last places on earth these gentle giants inhabit. Trek through the lush forest with knowledgeable rangers and observe playful infants and powerful silverbacks in their natural habitat. To see Rwanda’s beauty from a different perspective, a helicopter ride above the park’s sweeping landscape offers panoramic views of the breathtaking scenery and for true adventurers, a visit to the active Nyiragongo Volcano just across the border in the Congo is an unmissable experience.
In Tanzania, you will be captivated by the Great Migration as thousands of wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti in an extraordinary natural phenomenon. To see some of Tanzania’s most impressive scenery rich with wildlife, you will visit Lake Natron, home to thousands of lesser flamingos, and the majestic Ngorongoro Crater. During your trip, you will return to secluded hideaways and luxurious lodges each evening, with spectacular views of volcanic landscapes acting as a picturesque backdrop to your stay. This thoughtfully designed itinerary combines luxury, wonder, and discovery, offering your family an unforgettable African adventure.
