Experience a Wild Safari
This amazing safari tracks through the Western Rift Valle in the heart of Africa. It is a unique safari that allows you to combine viewing incredible wildlife and scenery with gorilla tracking and direct contact with African communities. Excellent accommodation is offered for every part of the trip. The lodges offer all modern conveniences without the African experience being compromised. We recommend that safari-lovers go between the months of April-May and/or October November Deals are available throughout the year, though.
