Gondar<- ->Vic Falls (EGF)

Overview

66 days between Victoria Falls and Gondar or vice versa...

In Ethiopia, we travel across the roof of Africa, hiking in the Simien Mountains, marvelling at the ancient Christian and biblical relics and discovering one of Africa's most historic nations. We then head south through the tribal lands of southern Ethiopia and onto East Africa and its famous national parks in Kenya. Safari means journey, and this journey is an excellent way to see the diversity of Africa. This trip is the perfect blend of wildlife and culture, exploring the great game parks of East Africa through to Zimbabwe. Besides the African wildlife, this trip allows you to experience the exotic Spice Island of Zanzibar, with its wealth of history and beautiful beaches, before heading on an overland journey to Lake Malawi for more rest and relaxation. For the lovers of adventure activities, we will end our trip in Victoria Falls, the adrenaline capital of Africa.
