## Details

## The Ultimate East African Journey

This epic 12-day safari spans three countries and the finest wildlife destinations in East Africa. Begin with Kenya's iconic Masai Mara , cross into Tanzania for the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater , and finish with an unforgettable mountain gorilla trek in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park .

### Three Countries, One Journey

Few safaris offer this breadth. You'll witness the Big Five across two countries, track the Great Migration herds, descend into the world's largest intact caldera, and sit with mountain gorillas in misty volcanic forests. This is East Africa at its most complete.
