This hugely adventurous trip, packed full with some of Africa’s ‘biggest and bests’ when it comes to wildlife, is designed to surpass all your expectations of what ‘safari’ can mean. You’ll see the ‘Big 5’, experience the Masai Mara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater; journey deep into Uganda and Rwanda for the ultimate wildlife experience: coming face to face with mountain gorillas and ngundas chimpanzees. There’s also plenty of time to relax on some of the Indian Ocean’s finest beaches, including the Spice Island of Zanzibar and a guided trip to the spice plantations. Due to the adventurous nature of this trip, there’s a lot of camping. Not just any camping, though – you’ll go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of Africa, staying as we do in the heart of East Africa’s National Parks and Game reserves.
