Planning your first East African safari can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Start by identifying what excites you most — primates, big cats, the Migration, beaches, or culture — and let that guide your destination choices.
Most first-timers combine Uganda or Rwanda (for primates) with Kenya or Tanzania (for classic savannah safaris). A 10-14 day itinerary allows you to experience the diversity of East Africa without rushing.
Budget ranges widely: from $200/day for mid-range safaris to $1,000+/day for luxury experiences. Gorilla permits are a significant additional cost. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your preferences.
