East Africa is a region full of iconic destinations that can be combined into one spectacular trip. Imagine a journey where you go from watching wildlife in the Serengeti to soaking up the sun on Zanzibar’s beaches, or trekking with gorillas in Uganda before heading to Kenya’s Maasai Mara.

Here’s how you can plan a multi-destination adventure that captures the best of the region.

1. Serengeti Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday (Tanzania)
After an exhilarating safari in the Serengeti, where you’ll witness the Great Migration, you can unwind on Zanzibar’s stunning beaches. Zanzibar offers idyllic luxury resorts, excellent snorkeling, and a vibrant history to explore. This combination provides the perfect balance of wildlife adventure and relaxation.

2. Uganda Gorilla Trekking and Murchison Falls National Park
Begin your adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, tracking mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Then, head to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile squeezes through a narrow gorge before plunging into a dramatic waterfall. The park also offers game drives, boat cruises on the Nile, and birdwatching.

3. Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater
This combination takes you to two of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. Start in Kenya’s Maasai Mara for incredible wildlife viewing, then head south to Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater—a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its densely packed wildlife population.

4. Rwanda and Uganda Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking
Maximize your primate encounters by combining gorilla trekking in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park with chimpanzee trekking in Uganda’s Kibale Forest National Park. You’ll experience two primate-rich environments while also enjoying the contrasting landscapes of both countries.

5. Lake Victoria and the Serengeti
For water lovers, consider a journey combining a trip to Lake Victoria—the largest lake in Africa, spanning Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania—with a safari in Tanzania’s Serengeti. Explore fishing villages and take boat trips on the lake before heading to the wild plains of the Serengeti for an unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Planning Tips for your next Multi-Destination Travel in East Africa

  • Use the East Africa Tourist Visa to easily move between Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda.
  • Consider traveling between July and October for the Great Migration, but plan beach trips outside of the rainy season (April-May).
  • Arrange transportation logistics carefully, as flying between parks and countries saves significant time.
