THE JOURNEY

Sunrise on the Serengeti

Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda

Big-sky savanna first, then Uganda's forests and a chance to meet chimpanzees.

Endless plains under a sky that seems to go on forever. Here the rhythm of the migration, predators and light has played out for millennia, and you are invited to watch.
A vast volcanic caldera cradling a wildlife-rich floor. Descend at dawn with mist in the hollows and find rhino, flamingos and lions in a single natural amphitheatre.
Golden grass rolls to the horizon and every ridge hides a story. This is the land of the great herds, where a single dawn can hold a hunt, a river crossing and a sky on fire.
Private conservancies where the fences are few and the guides are tenacious. Rhino, wild dog and big cats roam in country you can explore on foot, on horseback or by night.
The scent of cloves drifts through the old town while dhows rock in the harbour. Swahili coast, Portuguese ramparts and a warm sea waiting at the end of the day.
An ancient forest so dense that sunlight arrives in slivers. About half the world's mountain gorillas live here, and trekking to find them is the encounter of a lifetime.
The chimpanzee capital of the world. Hoots echo through the canopy as you follow trackers toward troops of our closest living relatives.
DAY 1
Highlights here
Great Migration
Follow the herds as they move in an endless loop of grass, calving and river.
Big cat tracking

Sunrise hot-air balloon
Drift over the savanna at dawn, then toast the day with a bush breakfast.
