East Africa: Safari Drives, Mountain Hikes & Chimp Trekking

There’s nothing like watching an animal approach your safari vehicle, trying to keep your voice to a whisper as it gets close enough to count its eyelashes. If it’s experiences like this that you’re after, this three-week adventure through Kenya and Tanzania will absolutely hit the spot. Immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Maasai community by staying at a lodge owned and operated by the Maasai themselves. Go on dual safaris and witness once-in-a-lifetime wildlife in renowned national parks. Spend an extraordinary day hiking up iconic Mt Kenya, with each step more breathtaking than the last. Travel to Gombe Stream National Park and follow the path of Dr. Jane Goodall in hopes of spending time with the chimpanzee families who call the park their home. Brace yourself: this adventure is East Africa beyond your wildest dreams.

While many East Africa trips focus solely on Big Five safaris, this tour is for the active traveler who wants more. It trades a singular focus for a diverse itinerary that blends classic game drives with challenging mountain hikes and chimpanzee trekking on foot. It prioritizes varied, active experiences over a more relaxed, vehicle-based safari holiday.
