This 7-day cross-border safari delivers two of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife encounters in one smooth journey. Begin in Kigali, Rwanda, cross into Uganda for an intimate mountain gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, then fly onward to Tanzania for unforgettable game drives in the legendary Serengeti.

Walk through ancient rainforest trails to meet a gorilla family up close—an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Then shift scenes dramatically as you enter the vast Serengeti plains, where lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and (seasonally) the Great Wildebeest Migration dominate the landscape. Add a meaningful Batwa cultural experience and expert guiding throughout, and you have a safari designed for depth, contrast, and lasting memories.

Starting in Kigali and ending in Arusha, this itinerary is smartly paced and ideal for travellers who want maximum wildlife impact in minimal time.
