An early morning drive to a serene safari game reserve. Time to view some wildlife! You'll be there by afternoon for an evening boat cruise on the River Nile to view some hippos and crocs in the water, and some elephants and other game on the shores. And then, sundowners by the world's mightiest river...

Another early morning start to catch the game as they get up for their breakfast by the watering hole. Elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, zebras, elands, hippos, you name it, you'll see it! All in the wild, in their natural element. You'll even see some predators waiting to pounce on them! - definitely some lions and if you're sharp of sight some crafty leopards...

After a forest drive, peppered with incredible monkeys, chimpanzees and stunning birdlife, you will make your way to a sanctuary that protects the world's rarest and most prized Big 5 species - the white rhino (an incredible animal whose population has been ravaged by poachers after the goldmine on the end of its nose...)

Another early morning to embark on the long drive towards the near-extinct and truest African gem: the Mountain Gorilla. A stopover for a cultural museum visit, lunch in a game reserve, and the option of either a horseback ride or hike through a scenic game park, filled with zebras, antelopes, warthogs and the occasional lion! Then the long drive continues late into the night...

An early morning start for the hike of your life - a walk up mountain slopes and through an impenetrable forest to visit and observe our closest relatives - the Mountain Gorilla - in their natural habitat, going about their day as a nuclear family, in their family homestead. The intimacy of this experience is one you will never forget!

A long, full-day drive back to the city, through the lush hills and scenic African savannah.

After a lot of arduous off-road driving, a more laidback day in the city to tour the curio shops, and get to experience contemporary African culture and living first-hand. In the evening, an amazing cultural African dance show is on the menu, as is a sampling of authentic African cuisine. And, afterwards, for the adventurous, a pub crawl may be in order...

The point where the world's longest river, the river whose riverbeds gave rise to the world's earliest civilizations, starts is majestic journey of almost 5,000 miles through the African continent and to the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the final resting place of the great Mahatma Gandhi. Lots of optional activities including hiking, white water rafting, zip-lining, bungee jumping, or just a sundowner by the river...
