Tour
summary
Week
One: Kenya - Uganda
Leaving Nairobi we pass the dramatic landscape of the Rift
Valley to the highlands of Kenya. Crossing the border at Malaba
we drive through rain forests and tea and sugar plantations to Ugandas
capital, Kampala. Crossing the equator we camp on the shores
of Lake Bunyonyi, the deepest crater lake in Uganda.
We climb through lush terraced hills to Kisoro, from here we trek
the famed mountain gorillas or you could visit Mgahinga National
Park for a day hike up a volcano or a guided nature trail.
We meander back to Lake Bunyonyi to relax, canoe, mountain bike
and swim.
Week
Two: Uganda
In the modern bustling city of Kampala you may wish to visit
the National Museum, the Kasubi Tombs of the Baganda
people, or arrange a day trip via Entebbe, to Lake Victorias
Ngamba Island sanctuary for rescued chimps. Crossing the Owen
Falls dam we arrive at Jinja on the shores of Lake Victoria.
Spend an action-filled day white water rafting down the Nile,
bungee jump, fish on Lake Victoria, take a guided village walk;
or give up a day of your holiday to volunteer for the local community
education project.
Week
Three: Kenya
Returning to Kenya and Nakuru Town, the capital of the
Rift Valley Province, we stay at Kembu a working farm. We
spend a full day at Lake Nakuru, viewing game in a park famous
for its soda lake surrounded by thousands, sometimes millions of
pink flamingoes. We move on to camp on the shores of Lake Naivasha
where hippos often come to graze in the evenings.
Close by is Hell's Gate National Park and Elsamere, once
the home of Joy Adamson and Elsa the lion of 'Born Free'
fame. We head west to the Masai Mara National Reserve where
great game viewing is assured all year round here, the Mara offers
us everything, amazing scenery and abundant wildlife including the big
five. From here we return to Nairobi with the chance to feast
at the renowned Carnivores Game Restaurant
