How do you combine Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda?

The classic build is Kenya + Tanzania for big game and the migration, then Uganda or Rwanda for gorillas. A popular routing is the Masai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro, followed by a flight to Bwindi (Uganda) or Volcanoes (Rwanda) for mountain gorilla trekking. Allow 10–18 days. Because borders, visas, gorilla permits and bush flights all have to align, it's a trip best run by a single operator — we handle every connection so you simply enjoy it.

We had an amazing experience on the Maasai Mara + Lake Nakuru + Naivasha Mid-Range Safari with Imara Africa Safaris. Booking and communication were smooth, professional, and hassle-free from beginning to end. The itinerary was exceptionally well organized, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. Our guide, Simone, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and always made sure we had the best wildlife-viewing opportunities. His experience and sharp eye helped us spot an incredible variety of animals and birds. During our safari, we saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes, elephants, zebras, African buffalo, rhinoceroses, hippos, hyenas, thousands of wildebeest crossing during the spectacular Great Migration, gazelles, impalas, warthogs, baboons, monkeys, crocodiles, ostriches, majestic eagles, vultures, and many other colorful bird species. Witnessing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara was truly breathtaking and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, which added a wonderful variety to the safari. The accommodations selected by Imara Africa Safaris were excellent. Every hotel and lodge was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with great food and friendly staff, making it easy to relax after exciting days of game drives. This safari exceeded all of our expectations. From the excellent planning and comfortable accommodations to the incredible wildlife encounters and exceptional guiding, everything was first class. I highly recommend Imara Africa Safaris and the Maasai Mara + Lake Nakuru + Naivasha Mid-Range Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable Kenyan safari adventure.

This safari has been nothing short of epic. When looking for a safari, Cate was very thorough - understood what we were looking for, asked good questions, understood our budget, and made us comfortable throughout the entire process. Once in Kenya, all of the details were well thought through - every ride, every meal, and we were able to truly maximize the limited time and budget that we had. We were able to experience so much, and our guide Simon answered every question we had, guided us safely through the different terrain and Kenyan traffic, and made sure everything was done to ensure that we experienced as many different animals as possible from several wonderful vantage points. We felt cared for though the whole process and appreciate Imara Africa for everything they did to make this safari a memorable, once in a lifetime experience!

One operator across four countries — no reseller chain

Multi-country safaris are the hardest trips to get right: borders, visas, gorilla permits, bush flights and multiple lodges all have to align to the day. Booking through a reseller stacks markups and risky hand-offs between suppliers in each country. We coordinate the entire journey ourselves, with trusted on-the-ground partners we work with directly.

One team coordinating all four countries
Gorilla permits secured and timed by us
All flights, transfers & borders handled
No stacked reseller markups per country

A four-country safari has a hundred moving parts, and a single missed connection can unravel the lot. Running these trips ourselves — and timing the gorilla permit to the exact day you arrive — is how we turn an ambitious itinerary into a journey that simply flows.
