  Your journey begins in Entebbe, Uganda. Highlights here include a boat trip on Lake Victoria visiting

  Ngamba Island and the chimps. In Jinja, you’ll camp in full view of the impressive Bugagali Falls where

  you can raft on the White Nile, quad bike through plantations, take a village walk, help with a school

  community project or simply relax.

 

  After crossing the border into Kenya, you’ll meet the traditional Pokot people, take a boat trip on Lake

  Baringo and experience your first game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park. The soda pan here is home

  to over 1 one million  pink flamingoes and a highlight for many.

 

  Next you enter the famous Masai Mara National Reserve where you’ll get the chance to spot the big

  ‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhino) before camping in the heart of the Reserve.

  This is also traditionally the land of the Masai and it’s not uncommon to see the traditional

  herdsmen, attired in colourful dress and ornate jewellery grazing their stock in the Reserve. You

  get the chance to learn more about this fascinating tribe when you visit a local village. Before

  travelling through the legendary Rift Valley to Nairobi you’ll visit Lake Naivasha. To view 

  stunning birds and hippos, you’ll cross the Lake to the Crescent Island Game Reserve where

  you will wander on foot and experience first hand East Africa’s large variety of game.

  In the hills overlooking Lake Naivasha is Ngondi, the remote village where Karoma’s Mama

  lives. Here you’ll receive a warm welcome, visit the local school and experience authentic

  African life.

 

  Heading toward Tanzania, you’ll camp at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro before entering into the

  Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest extinct volcano, where you can view more game.

  Returning to Arusha, you travel towards the Tanzanian coast spending time in Lushoto and

  Bagamoya before reaching Dar es Salaam. Highlights include visiting local markets, sunset

  village walks and history on the slave trade.

 

  From the cobbled Stone Town to the spice plantations and the pristine, palm-fringed coastlines

  where diving is some of the best in Africa, Zanzibar is a traveler’s delight. A few days on this

  exotic spice island provide contrast and relaxation before you fly out of Dar es Salaam.
