Gorillas and Game Parks
A close encounter with the gentle gorillas of the Rwandan rainforest is an extraordinary African experience that will stay with you a lifetime - and it's just one of the many wildlife spottings this unforgettable African overland adventure has to offer. Roam the verdant plains, rainforest, papyrus-fringed lakes and acacia woodlands of Kenya and Uganda to spot lions, rhinos, chimpanzees, antelope, hippos, leopards, flamingos and more in their natural habitats. Winston Churchill famously dubbed this beautiful countryside the Pearl of Africa, and you'll quickly understand why.
