Kenya is known for its vast savannahs, where you can see herds of elephants, lions, giraffes, and zebras. The country is also home to the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the best places in the world to see the Great Migration.

Rwanda is a smaller country, but it packs a big punch when it comes to wildlife. The highlight of a Rwanda safari is the opportunity to track mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. You can also see chimpanzees, golden monkeys, and a variety of other primates in Rwanda.
