East Africa Tours & Trips
Trekking with mountain gorillas in Bwindi Forest and witnessing the Great Migration in Serengeti? Bucket-list stuff! Masai Mara's plains stretch endlessly, while Ngorongoro Crater drops down into a wildlife bowl, and Victoria Falls thunders year-round. Check out Zanzibar’s shores, and camping by Lake Naivasha, before visiting Rwanda's Musanze caves. Amazing countries, amazing sights.

Best Intrepid trip yet! Thank you. Perfect balance of camping and sightseeing at a good rate. Tour leader top notch. Well looked after and enjoyed every moment. Never dull.
Gorillas, Game Parks & BeachesDefinitely the trip of life. Ended up extending the whole way to Cape Town. Guide and driver were fantastic. Writing this many years after the fact but it was an amazing experience I would not trade for anything.
Nairobi To Dar Es Salaam (34 Days)This 14-day trip with Rumara Safaris was beyond our expectations. Every day is a different experience - first of all enjoying the natural beauty of Arusha National Park. Then I was fascinated by the huge herd of elephants in Tarangire. Coming down to Ngorongoro Crater, it was like seeing so many animals together. The lions and leopards of Masai Mara have brought an absolutely thrilling moment. To see the Great Migration standing in the infinite wilderness of Serengeti is truly an experience of a lifetime. Gorilla trekking at the end of the journey has added a special joy to our journey. Noel took care of us the whole way, and Charity's plan made everything easy and memorable.

Best time to visit East Africa
- Summer 2026
Summer safari experiences revolve around the great migration, as you track millions of wildebeest and zebras making their way through Kenya and Tanzania. Our travelers head out in the crisp dawn light for game drives when wildlife is most active, then return to unfenced camps where lions call through the dark African nights. We blend traditional wildlife viewing with authentic cultural moments - you'll spend time at Tepesua Village, supporting Maasai widows, and join conservation initiatives at organic farms. Many guests start their journey with mountain gorilla encounters in Uganda or Rwanda, before moving into the Serengeti to witness peak migration activity. The routes often conclude perfectly with time in Zanzibar, wandering through fragrant spice gardens and along pristine beaches. Our expert guides know exactly how to track migration patterns, positioning you strategically for remarkable river crossings and predator encounters. Extended summer daylight means more viewing hours and ideal conditions for wildlife photography in the golden light.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings overland trips linking Victoria Falls with East Africa's top wildlife spots. You'll camp under Serengeti stars and meet communities living along Lake Malawi. Our customers really enjoy autumn's mix of wildlife and culture - tracking chimps in Kalinzu Forest, visiting traditional Maasai homes and learning coffee farming from local growers. Several routes include the Usambara Mountains too, where fewer tourists mean more genuine village experiences.

Many routes include time near Lake Victoria before heading into the vast Serengeti plains. What makes these tours special is how they mix wildlife experiences with real village connections - like visiting organic farms to see how locals manage living near wildlife parks.
