This comprehensive trip offers the opportunity to observe rare mountain gorillas in their natural habitat and it's a spine-tingling experience to sit with them in the forest. We also explore East Africa's most popular game parks; the Masai Mara and Serengeti offer superb game viewing on the vast plains, and we visit the lesser known ones; Samburu Game Reserve is good for elephant and scenic Lake Nakuru is famous for its large flocks of flamingos. We end this trip with a few days on the tropical island of Zanzibar where you can explore the intriguing alleyways of Stone Town and relax on the gorgeous beaches.
