From Tanzania’s Great Plains To Rwanda’s Mountain Forests

This remarkable East African journey combines Tanzania’s legendary northern safari circuit with Rwanda’s extraordinary primate experiences. Beginning beneath the slopes of Mount Meru in Arusha, the adventure unfolds through the giant baobab landscapes of Tarangire National Park before continuing into the spectacular Ngorongoro Highlands. Wildlife-rich plains, volcanic landscapes and some of Africa’s most celebrated safari environments create a journey filled with diversity and discovery. The experience then reaches the vast Serengeti ecosystem, where endless horizons, exceptional predator sightings and seasonal migration movements showcase East Africa at its most iconic.

The second half of the journey reveals a very different side of the continent. Leaving the open plains behind, travellers continue to Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains, where mist-covered forests and volcanic peaks provide the setting for unforgettable mountain gorilla encounters. Combined with Rwanda’s welcoming culture, refined hospitality and conservation success stories, this itinerary creates a seamless exploration of two of Africa’s most rewarding wildlife destinations.
