Gorillas in Uganda and safaris Tanzania
Eastern Africa in all its beauty and purity. Uganda, the hidden pearl and Tanzania known for its impressive flora and fauna. A trip through the many wildlife parks that this part of Africa is rich. From Kibale Forrest National Park,with its many chimpanzees and other primates, to the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park. In this park you will take a boat safari on one of the lakes and you will see hippos, elephants, buffaloes and crocodiles. A beautiful spectacle are the many pelicans and hundreds of kingfishers that accompany you on this boat trip. Definitely one of the most impressive moments you experience when you go on gorilla tracking in the mountainous Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest National Park. The sight of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is moving and exciting at the same time. Before you leave Uganda, you'll pass, on your journey from the fairytale Lake Bunyony to Kampala, the equator. A moment to pause...
'Big Five' in Serengeti
From Uganda, take the boat to Tanzania. You spend a night on the boat! In Tanzania, you'll visit no less than three National Parks, including Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's oldest park and perhaps the most famous park in the world. A game drive in Serengeti National Park can hardly be described with words. It's one big adventure where you'll discover the secrets of this National Park. The endless grasslands, the annual zebra and wildebeest migration, the granite rock formations and the rich wildlife. In Lake Manyara National Park, with a little luck, you can see the tree-climbing lions.
Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara
The Ngorongoro crater is of a different beauty but at least as impressive. It is the largest intact crater in the world, packed with animals; a piece of paradise on earth. Besides the 'Big Five', there are also dozens of species living according to this. And have you ever seen flamingos wade into the wild? In the shallow Lake Magadi they do this by thousands at a time!
