7-Day Kenya & Uganda Luxury Safari
Overview
Choosing the Best Safari Company in Africa gives you the chance to experience two of East Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations in one unforgettable journey. This 7-day luxury safari combines the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya with Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to the endangered mountain gorillas.
Your adventure begins in the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s finest wildlife reserves. The reserve is well known for its large population of lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, and many other animals. During exciting game drives, you will search for the Big Five while enjoying the beautiful African savannah filled with rolling grasslands and acacia trees. If you travel during the Great Migration season, you may also witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River.
After exploring Kenya, your safari continues with a flight to Uganda. Here, the landscape changes from open plains to lush tropical forests as you head to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site protects nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas.
The highlight of the safari is the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. Accompanied by experienced park rangers, you walk through the rainforest in search of a habituated gorilla family. Spending one hour observing these gentle giants in their natural habitat is one of Africa’s most emotional wildlife experiences.
Besides wildlife, this safari also introduces you to local culture. You can visit a traditional Maasai village in Kenya and enjoy a community walk in Uganda to learn about local traditions and conservation efforts.
Throughout the journey, you stay in carefully selected luxury lodges and camps that provide excellent comfort, delicious meals, and outstanding service. With professional guides, scenic flights, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, the Best Safari Company in Africa delivers an exceptional safari experience that creates memories to last a lifetime.
