Whether you have 10 days, two weeks or three weeks, we can design a route according to your interests, budget and preferred accommodation.

Why Choose a Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania Safari?

Each country provides a different side of the East African safari experience.

Uganda – Gorillas, Primates and Diverse Wildlife

Uganda is particularly famous for mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.

The country also offers chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park, wildlife viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park, the spectacular Murchison Falls and the remote wilderness of Kidepo Valley.

Kenya – Classic African Wildlife

Kenya is home to some of Africa’s best-known safari destinations. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is especially popular for its abundant wildlife and its connection to the wider Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.

Kenya also offers destinations such as Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Samburu, giving travelers a variety of landscapes and wildlife experiences.

Tanzania – Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Tanzania completes the itinerary with destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park.

The Serengeti is famous for its vast plains and wildlife, while Ngorongoro provides a dramatic crater environment and Tarangire is particularly well known for elephants and distinctive baobab landscapes.

Together, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania create a comprehensive East Africa safari experience.

Luxury accommodation can be selected according to location and travel style.

The itinerary can include private safari vehicles, selected domestic flights, private game drives and additional leisure time.

A luxury safari is particularly suitable for honeymooners, couples celebrating special occasions and travelers who prefer a slower pace.

If gorilla trekking is the main reason for visiting East Africa, the safari can be designed around this experience.

Travelers can enjoy several days of savannah wildlife after their gorilla trek.

Possible wildlife sightings include:

• Leopards
• Giraffes
• Zebras
• Hippos
• Antelopes

This itinerary is ideal for travelers searching for gorilla trekking and Big Five safari packages.

5. Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania Family Safari

Families can also enjoy a customized three-country East African safari.

A family itinerary should be designed around comfortable travel distances, age-appropriate activities and accommodation that works well for children.

A possible route is:

Entebbe → Queen Elizabeth → Bwindi → Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro

Depending on the ages of the children and the family’s interests, chimpanzee trekking or gorilla trekking can be incorporated where appropriate and subject to applicable regulations.

Family-friendly activities can include:

• Boat cruises
• Nature walks
• Cultural visits
• Wildlife photography
• Community experiences

A private safari vehicle can provide greater flexibility, allowing the family to adjust departure times and stops along the route.

6. Uganda Kenya Tanzania Honeymoon Safari

A Uganda Kenya Tanzania honeymoon safari combines adventure with romantic landscapes and memorable accommodation.

Couples can begin with gorilla trekking in Bwindi before traveling to Kenya and Tanzania.

A possible route is:

Entebbe → Bwindi → Queen Elizabeth → Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro

For couples who want to extend their honeymoon, a beach destination can be added after the safari.

• Diani Beach
• Pemba Island

This creates a safari and beach honeymoon combining wildlife adventure with tropical relaxation.

7. Uganda Kenya Tanzania Wildlife Photography Safari

East Africa is one of the world’s most exciting destinations for wildlife photography.

A photography-focused itinerary should allow more time at each destination instead of moving between parks every day.

A possible route includes:

Bwindi → Queen Elizabeth → Maasai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro

Photographers can focus on different subjects in each ecosystem.

Bwindi

Mountain gorillas, forest birds and primates.

Queen Elizabeth

Lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos and birds.

Maasai Mara

Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras and seasonal wildebeest movements.

Serengeti

Large herds, predators and expansive landscapes.

Ngorongoro

Dense wildlife viewing within the crater environment.

Travelers should communicate their photography interests when booking so that the itinerary can be designed around sufficient time in the field.

8. Uganda Kenya Tanzania Great Migration Safari

Travelers interested in the Great Migration can combine Uganda gorilla trekking with Kenya and Tanzania wildlife destinations.

The Maasai Mara and Serengeti form part of the wider Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, where large-scale seasonal movements of wildebeest and other herbivores take place.

A possible itinerary is:

Uganda → Maasai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro

Timing is important for travelers whose primary goal is to experience specific stages of the migration.

Because wildlife movements are natural events and do not follow a guaranteed schedule, itinerary planning should take seasonal patterns, destination choice and travel dates into consideration.

The safari can also include regular wildlife viewing outside the migration period.

9. Budget Uganda Kenya Tanzania Safari Package

A multi-country safari does not necessarily have to be a luxury holiday.

Travelers on a budget can choose budget or mid-range accommodation, shared safari options where practical, and carefully selected transportation.

A budget itinerary could include:

Entebbe → Queen Elizabeth → Bwindi → Nairobi → Maasai Mara → Serengeti → Ngorongoro

Ways to manage safari costs include:

• Choosing comfortable budget lodges
• Traveling during less busy periods
• Using group safari options where suitable
• Limiting the number of domestic flights
• Selecting fewer parks
• Booking accommodation outside premium luxury properties
• Planning the route efficiently

However, gorilla trekking permits, park fees, transportation and accommodation remain important components of the overall safari budget.

A customized quotation provides the most accurate cost because prices vary according to travel dates, accommodation category, group size and selected activities.

10. Uganda Kenya Tanzania Safari with Zanzibar Beach Extension

Travelers who want to combine wildlife and relaxation can add Zanzibar after the safari.

A possible itinerary is:

Uganda → Kenya → Tanzania → Zanzibar

The safari section can include:

• Bwindi
• Maasai Mara
• Serengeti
• Ngorongoro

After several days of game drives and wildlife experiences, fly to Zanzibar for a relaxing beach holiday.

Activities can include:

• Beach relaxation
• Stone Town exploration
• Spice tours
• Snorkeling
• Diving
• Boat trips
• Cultural experiences

This combination is particularly attractive for honeymooners and travelers who want to end an active safari with several days beside the Indian Ocean.

Best Time for a Uganda Kenya Tanzania Safari

Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania can be visited throughout the year, but the best time depends on the experiences you want.

For gorilla trekking, Uganda’s forests can be visited year-round. Travelers should prepare for changing conditions because rainforest weather can be unpredictable.

For Kenya and Tanzania, wildlife viewing is also available throughout the year. Travelers interested specifically in the Great Migration should plan around seasonal wildlife movements.

If your priority is photography, gorilla trekking and general wildlife, an experienced safari operator can help identify travel periods that match your preferred activities.

How Many Days Do You Need?

The length of a Uganda-Kenya-Tanzania safari depends on how many destinations you want to visit.

10–12 Days

Best suited to travelers with limited time. Focus on fewer parks and prioritize gorillas plus one or two major wildlife destinations.

14–16 Days

A good duration for combining Uganda’s gorillas with Kenya and Tanzania’s major safari destinations.

18–21 Days

Allows a more relaxed multi-country safari with additional parks, cultural experiences and leisure time.

21+ Days

Ideal for travelers who want an extensive East African journey covering several national parks and potentially adding Zanzibar or the Kenyan coast.

Avoid packing too many destinations into a short trip. Spending additional nights in fewer parks often provides a more enjoyable safari experience.
