14 Days 13 nights East African Adventure Safari

Overview
Choosing which time of year to see the Great Wildebeest Migration is made easy with this safari. Moving between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, this 14-day itinerary ensures that you will be in front-row seats for nature’s biggest show and some of its most dramatic chapters, depending on which time of year you choose to visit, such as the birthing season, the great trek, and the treacherous river crossings, complete with giant crocodiles.

This is a Double Trekk Gorilla & Migration itinerary backed up by some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. When you are not watching the Migration, you will be on the lookout for the Big 5 in the Ngorongoro Crater – lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and elephant – and enjoying diverse wildlife sightings throughout the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Predators – like all the big cats, wild dogs, cheetahs and hyenas – are well represented and the general game viewing and bird watching is excellent. This is the best experience Africa can offer, being in-front of wild mountain gorillas with astonishing eyes is another life experience.

It is a fly-in safari, saving you several long journeys by road. You are met and assisted each step of the way as you fly between destinations. Small and intimate camps – ideal for romantic travel, and that will appeal to honeymooners and couples – provide the accommodation and you enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with our expert guides. You will be ‘under canvas’ for this safari in large, and Cottages types all en-suite for Luxury, well-furnished tents/cottages with their own en suite bathrooms. Simple campfires gives these places an authentic wilderness feel but you have all the comforts of home in your tent/cottages including electric lighting as well as stunning views from your outdoor seating area.

Wakeup early in Morning and make sure you have Packed lunch, water and set to face the impenetrable Forest, Walk to the registration headquarters and have your permits verified, then Your allocated a particular Gorilla Group, each Group can only contain 8 members a day, this makes Gorilla Permits very competitive and availability is not always Guaranteed till a permit is Reserved and Booked, the numbers are limited in order to give space for the few guests to enjoy Gorillas when they reach them otherwise too many people can stress the Gorillas and unavoidable war can be the option.
Once you get your Group allocation (here we shall choose a Gorilla group we know its the best for you) otherwise not every group is interesting, some are playful and others are NOT, so leave this part to us. You will start the trek by 8:30am and be expecting to spend an entire day or half of it depending on where you will find them, have an hour with them and take enough shots for your great memories, the hiking is so stressful and sometimes people fail, in that case one pays porters who can carry you up to where gorillas are and bring you back to your Start point, You will then go back to your Lodge and Transfer to Mgahinga Park for a Second Gorilla trek its 1 hr and 20 minutes Drive to mount Gahinga Safari Lodge
