Two of Africa's most extraordinary wildlife experiences in one ten-day journey — Kenya's Maasai Mara Big Five game drives followed by an hour face-to-face with a habituated mountain gorilla family in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park.
Mountain gorilla permits are limited — only 96 visitors per day are allowed in the Virunga volcanoes. We secure these months in advance on your behalf.
