12 Days: Journey to Uganda's Wild North

Step into a part of Uganda rarely visited, where culture and wilderness remain raw and unfiltered. Begin your journey among the remote tribes of Karamoja, learning about their traditions and way of life. As the land unfolds, vast plains and dramatic escarpments open before you. The road leads to Kidepo Valley National Park, a secluded paradise where lions, cheetahs and buffalo thrive. Each day brings encounters that feel both intimate and untamed.

From the golden savannahs you travel towards mighty Murchison Falls, where the Nile crashes through a narrow gorge. Boat safaris reveal hippos and crocodiles, while the roar of the falls fills the air. Alongside wildlife, the north shares cultural moments with resilient communities who call this land home. For travellers who seek more than a safari, this journey offers depth, authenticity and wild beauty. It is Uganda at its most adventurous and soulful and also one of our most populair East Africa tours.

12 Days: Kenya & Uganda: The Great Lakes & Mara Trail

This cross-border journey links Kenya’s savannahs with Uganda’s lush valleys and rivers. Begin in Nairobi before venturing to the Masai Mara, where rolling grasslands are alive with wildebeest, big cats and Maasai culture. The trail then carries you north, crossing into Uganda to explore Pian Upe, a hidden reserve with open savannah and rare antelope. Along the way, encounters with pastoral communities reveal deep traditions and warm hospitality.

From dry plains you move into greener landscapes shaped by rivers and lakes. Uganda’s valleys invite you on game drives and walks, while birdlife fills the skies. The journey culminates at Jinja, where the Nile bursts into life at its source. Here adventure meets culture, with opportunities for rafting or exploring craft markets. It is a trail that unites two countries through nature, people and unforgettable stories.

10 Days: Into Wild North Kenya

Venture into Kenya’s northern frontier, a region defined by dramatic landscapes and resilient cultures. Begin at Hell’s Gate, where towering cliffs and geothermal valleys invite both wildlife viewing and scenic walks. Continue towards Lake Nakuru, home to rhinos and a shimmering birdlife spectacle. From there, the trail takes you deeper north into Samburu, where elephants, lions and the unique “Samburu Five” roam the savannah. Each step into the wild feels like a journey further from the familiar.

The adventure then leads to Ol Pejeta, a sanctuary known for its pioneering conservation efforts and close encounters with rhinos. As the journey unfolds, Mount Kenya’s slopes rise on the horizon, offering crisp air and alpine beauty. Along the way, cultural encounters with Samburu communities reveal traditions rooted in survival and pride. Nights are spent under vast skies, where the silence of the wilderness is broken only by the sounds of nature. This is Kenya at its most rugged, rare and rewarding.

After the intensity of the forest, Lake Bunyonyi offers calm waters and island-dotted views, perfect for reflection.
