Overview
Africa’s two most coveted wildlife encounters in a single seamless journey: four days among the big cats of the Masai Mara, then across to Rwanda for golden monkeys and an unforgettable hour with the mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park.
Itinerary

Meet and greet at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with an evening at a graceful colonial-era residence in the Karen suburbs.

A short flight to Rwanda’s leafy capital, then a scenic drive into the foothills of the Virunga volcanoes.
