About this safari
Twenty-four days across Uganda and Tanzania, from the shoebill swamps of Lake Victoria to the reef off Zanzibar. It is the full East African sweep: mountain gorillas in Bwindi, chimpanzees in Kibale, white rhino tracked on foot at Ziwa, the Nile at Murchison Falls, the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Mara River crossings of the Great Migration.
The pace is built to hold over three weeks. Cultural days sit between the game drives: the Batwa Trail to Garama Cave, the market town of Mto wa Mbu, a Maasai boma, and a dawn hunt with the Hadzabe at Lake Eyasi. A hot air balloon lifts off over the Serengeti before first light, and the journey closes with three deliberately unstructured nights on the Indian Ocean.
Day-by-day Itinerary

Arrival in Entebbe
Entebbe • Protea Hotel by Marriott Entebbe
Your guide meets you at Entebbe International Airport and transfers you to the Protea Hotel on the shore of Lake Victoria. The afternoon is free - swim, walk the botanical gardens next door, or simply sleep off the flight. Over dinner your guide runs through the twenty-four days ahead: what to pack for the gorilla trek, what the altitude feels like, and how the internal flights work.

Shoebill Search at Mabamba Swamp
Mabamba Swamp • Protea Hotel by Marriott Entebbe
An early start for Mabamba Swamp, a maze of papyrus channels on the edge of Lake Victoria. You glide out by dugout canoe with a local poler in search of the shoebill — a prehistoric-looking bird, a metre and a half tall, found in very few places on earth. Herons, jacanas, malachite kingfishers and weavers line the way. The rest of the day is deliberately unhurried.
