Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda together form one of Africa's most compelling travel corridors, spanning vast savannahs, equatorial forests, and volcanic highlands. Kenya is world-renowned for the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, along with its coastal beaches and diverse wildlife reserves. Uganda and Rwanda draw travellers for rare gorilla trekking experiences in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Volcanoes National Park respectively, as well as chimpanzee tracking and birdwatching in lush rainforests. The region appeals to wildlife enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and culture lovers looking to explore some of the most biodiverse and scenically dramatic landscapes on the continent.

Masai Mara & Gorilla Adventure — Self-Launched

A self-launched, independent version of G Adventures' 12-day Masai Mara & Gorilla Adventure — covering Nairobi, the Masai Mara, Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (gorilla trekking), and Kigali. Instead of a small-group tour with a private 4x4 and pre-booked lodges, you'll string together public matatus, shared safari vans, budget guesthouses and campsites, and self-booked gorilla permits and game drives. Same big-ticket experiences — Big Five safari in the Mara, a Masai village visit, mountain gorillas in Bwindi, and Genocide Memorial + Nyamirambo Women's Centre in Kigali — for a fraction of the £5,800+ the operator charges. Note: gorilla permits ($800 USD in Uganda, $1,500 USD in Rwanda as of 2024) are a fixed government cost and will be the single biggest expense; budget them in early and book months ahead. All costs are approximate GBP per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
