The East African Grand Journey
Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda — plains, crater and gorillas.
The trip most people describe when they say they want to see East Africa: the Mara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, then the gorillas of Volcanoes National Park.
Ten days is the minimum this route works in. We would rather talk you into twelve than compress it further.
