Trip highlights

You’ll load into the jeep and head out to the Serengeti to witness The Great Migration, the annual circular migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest, as well as hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles, and other herbivores. Be prepared—it’s breathtaking.

Head to the Zanzibar Spice Farm for a one-of-a-kind tour of several spice plantations in the Masingini Forest. You’ll get to feel, smell, and taste the huge variety of different spices and tropical fruits, like vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, and many others. Then you’ll head over to the local market to purchase your own spice collection and a Swahili cookery lesson from skilled chefs.

Flying high above the Mara plains in a hot air balloon is the ultimate way to safari. You’ll be rising up just as the first rays of sunlight paint a magical landscape below. Soar with the birds or glide over predators hunting their prey—it's a truly magical experience.

While Africa is known for many amazing wildlife encounters few can match coming eye to eye with a mountain gorilla. On your Gorilla Trekking adventure, you’ll be led by an experienced ranger on a hike through the forest of Volcanoes National Park to get prized views of one of the 10 families of gorillas living in the park.
