10-Day East African Grand Safari
10-Day East African Grand Safari — Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya & Tanzania | Akagera & Apes
Rwanda · Uganda · Kenya · Tanzania
Tour Overview
Four Countries. One Extraordinary Decade of Memories.
This is the definitive East Africa safari — a 10-day odyssey that takes you from the mist-shrouded volcanic forests of Rwanda and Uganda to the golden plains of Kenya and Tanzania, weaving together the continent's most extraordinary wildlife encounters into one seamless, expertly guided journey.
Begin in Kigali with a city tour and the moving Genocide Memorial, then head to Akagera for Rwanda's Big Five. Volcanoes National Park delivers golden monkey trekking and the centrepiece of the safari — mountain gorilla trekking in the habitat made famous by Dian Fossey. Crossing into Uganda, a second gorilla encounter in Bwindi's ancient forest is followed by chimpanzee tracking in Kibale and the legendary tree-climbing lions and Kazinga Channel boat safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
A flight to Kenya delivers you to the Masai Mara for the Great Migration and big cat encounters, before crossing into Tanzania for the Serengeti's endless plains and a final morning descent into the Ngorongoro Crater — the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the densest lion population in Africa.

Welcome at Kigali International Airport by your expert Akagera & Apes guide. Check in to your luxury Kigali hotel, then embark on a guided Kigali City Tour including the Kigali Genocide Memorial — a deeply moving tribute to Rwanda's history and resilience.
Highlights
Kigali is consistently ranked one of Africa's cleanest and safest cities. The Genocide Memorial is a sobering but essential experience that contextualises Rwanda's extraordinary transformation into one of the continent's most progressive nations.
Activity
Full day in Akagera National Park — Rwanda's only savannah park and home to the Big Five including the recently reintroduced black rhino and lion. Morning game drive followed by an afternoon boat safari on Lake Ihema.
Highlights
Akagera is one of Africa's great conservation success stories — lions and rhinos were reintroduced after decades of absence. Lake Ihema hosts one of the highest concentrations of hippos and Nile crocodiles in East Africa, plus over 500 bird species.
