9 Days Tanzania and Uganda Safari

The 9 Days Tanzania and Uganda Safari opens on the Serengeti at Namiri Plains, the eastern section with Africa's highest cheetah density, before flying north to Sayari Camp for the Great Wildebeest Migration and Mara River crossings. Then the journey shifts entirely: fly to Uganda and trek through the mist of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a face-to-face encounter with endangered mountain gorillas.

Tanzania delivers the scale of open savannah predator drama. Uganda delivers the intimacy of ancient forest and one of the world's rarest wildlife encounters. At Erebero Hills, the Batwa people's traditional knowledge of the forest adds cultural depth that no game drive can replicate. These are nine days where every destination earns its place.

To extend either half of this journey, the 9 Days Northern Circuit Tanzania Safari gives three more days across Tanzania's northern parks. For the full East African loop with Zanzibar, the 33 Days Uganda and Tanzania Safari with Zanzibar Beach Holiday is the ultimate option.
