Gorillas in the morning, lions by the weekend. How to stitch East Africa together.

Quick answerThe most popular East Africa combinations are Rwanda gorillas plus Kenya's Maasai Mara (via a 1-hour Kigali–Nairobi flight), Rwanda plus Tanzania's Serengeti and Zanzibar, and Rwanda plus Uganda's Bwindi for two gorilla treks overland. Allow at least 10–14 days for a two-country trip.

Rwanda + Kenya (10–12 days)

Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, then fly Kigali–Nairobi for the Maasai Mara. From July to October, you might catch the Great Migration's river crossings. Optionally finish at Diani Beach.

Rwanda + Tanzania (12–14 days)

Gorillas first, then the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, ending on Zanzibar's beaches. Regional connections link Kigali with Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam.

Rwanda + Uganda (8–10 days)

Overland from Kigali: gorillas in Rwanda, then Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi and optionally Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Visas

Check whether the East Africa Tourist Visa currently applies to your route, as rules have changed since Kenya introduced its eTA.
