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.

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.
14 Days Serengeti, Masai Mara & Gorilla Trekking ExperienceFantastic trip! Everything was as described, and organised perfectly by Manache our leader, and Steve our driver. We camped in amazing places, some next to National Parks or on beaches, some with swimming pools. On Zanzibar accommodation was perfect right on the beach. We saw all the animals you could hope for, including the gorillas and chimpanzees, Of course there were long dusty drives but you are in Africa. There was always plenty of food for us to cook and we enjoyed the meals cooked by the teams with Nash's guidance. I wish I had booked the 73 day Absolute Safari! I will be back to do the second half!
Wildlife and Spice IslandHad a great time on the overland safari, making new and lasting friends with like-minded people. Absolute Africa is certainly recommended for value-for-money trip of a lifetime!

Best time to visit East Africa
- 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.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Our winter East African tours really shine with gorilla encounters in Bwindi and wildlife viewing across the Masai Mara. You'll find yourself tracking white rhinos at Ziwa Sanctuary, watching chimps swing through Kibale Forest and learning traditional millet preparation alongside Mukiga women. 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.
