8 DaysMax 8 GuestsRwanda · Kenya5.0 (38 reviews)

Tour Overview

Two Countries. Two Iconic Experiences.

This 8-day journey pairs the most profound wildlife encounter on earth — mountain gorilla trekking in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park — with the raw, cinematic drama of Kenya's Masai Mara. Two countries, two ecosystems, and two bucket-list experiences crafted into one seamless safari.

Begin in Kigali, Rwanda's immaculate capital, before heading into the misty Virunga Mountains for golden monkey trekking and a face-to-face hour with a wild mountain gorilla family. Then fly to Nairobi and transfer to the Masai Mara for two days of Big Five game drives across the world's most celebrated wildlife reserve.
