A Journey Through Nature

What to Expect on Wildlife Tours

Whether you’re venturing into the vast savannahs or exploring dense forests, wildlife tours across East Africa immerse you in diverse habitats where you can witness animals in their natural environment. Safaris are conducted through various means, including game drives, boat trips, guided walks, and even hot air balloon safaris for an aerial view of the plains.

Highlights of Wildlife Tours in East Africa

  • The Big Five: These iconic animals—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes—are a must-see on any wildlife safari. East Africa offers numerous opportunities to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitats.
  • Predators and Prey: Watch predators like cheetahs, hyenas, and lions stalk their prey, offering dramatic moments in nature. Witnessing the interactions between these animals in their ecosystem is a thrilling part of the safari experience.
  • Large Mammals: Elephants, giraffes, hippos, zebras, and wildebeest roam the plains and forests in impressive numbers. The Serengeti and Masai Mara are known for the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras journey across the savannah.
  • Unique Wildlife Encounters:

    • Mountain Gorillas: Uganda and Rwanda stand out for their mountain gorilla trekking experiences in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Volcanoes National Park. While not part of typical “wildlife tours,” this rare primate encounter is often paired with more traditional safaris.
    • Chimpanzee Trekking: In Uganda’s Kibale Forest and Rwanda’s Nyungwe National Park, chimpanzee tracking is an exciting addition to a wildlife tour, offering an opportunity to observe our closest relatives in their natural habitat.

Best Time for Wildlife Tours

The best time to go on a wildlife tour is during the dry season (typically June to October), when animals are easier to spot around waterholes and the vegetation is less dense. However, East Africa offers good wildlife viewing opportunities year-round, with different parks peaking at various times for specific species or migrations.
