Uganda
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
Uganda’s small, high Virunga park: mountain gorillas, golden monkeys, bamboo forest and three demanding volcanoes above Kisoro.
Kenya · Tanzania · Uganda
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda each need a different plan.
Kenya can connect mountains, safari and coast. Tanzania changes with the northern circuit, Kilimanjaro and the season. Uganda asks you to plan around forests, primates, the Nile and the Rwenzori. Start with the country, then compare the regions that give it its character.

Lake Natron
Lake Natron lies in the northern Rift Valley beneath Ol Doinyo Lengai, in an austere basin of heat, wind, alkaline water and volcanic geology. It is not a…
Tanzania
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara compresses forest, floodplain and alkaline lake beneath the Rift Valley wall; its character changes with water and season.

Southern Serengeti & Ndutu

Western Corridor & Grumeti
