East Africa is a land of abundance and unparalleled diversity. It's also a place of unique contrasts – from lush rainforests and lakes to dormant volcanoes, open grassland, and opalescent beaches.

From luxury safari lodges in the savannah and sunny, sandy beach resorts to quiet tropical retreats secreted in lush rainforests, there really is something for everyone.

Book your East Africa tours with us

Now that you're itching to get to East Africa, you might have a million questions, like when to visit, where to go, and what to see. Well, don't despair, as our Rhino Africa Travel Experts know all the ins and outs of Africa and what you can expect. They will recommend the best, well, everything when you start planning! But, for now, here's a quick overview of the why and when you should visit these East African countries. 

Tanzania Tours

Tanzania is best known for being one of the host countries for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the Great Migration. However, it has many other year-round treasures like Africa's highest mountain,  Kilimanjaro ,  Big 5 safari  adventures, Lake Victoria, cultural gems, and more. You can even combine it with a beach getaway at the nearby Zanzibar! The best time to visit Tanzania depends entirely on what you wish to do and see. However, timing is key if you want to witness the Great Migration and other animals in action, and you should then plan to visit around June to September.

Kenya Tours

Kenya, neighboring Tanzania, is also host to the Great Migration. However, it's not only the wildlife that makes this country special. The  Maasai Mara  is a colourful, culturally-rich nation and the classic de

piction of Kenya. It also has spectacular scenery, from Mount Kenya's snow-capped peak to Big 5 reserves, forests, and beaches. Kenya is also a year-round destination, but you will want to visit between July and November to witness the Great Migration when it's in town. 

Rwanda Tours

Rwanda is famous for gorilla trekking and is one of only three countries in the world where you can see them in their natural habitat (the others being Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo). The largest living primate, coming face to face with a gorilla is a moving experience. Rwanda is considered a year-round destination. However, the best time to go gorilla trekking is during the dry season, from June to September and again between January and February. Gorilla trekking in drier seasons is better because the terrain is less slippery. 

Uganda Tours

Another one of the three countries in the world where you can go gorilla trekking, Uganda, is known as the "Pearl of Africa". The source of the Nile River, you can enjoy plenty of water-based activities and safaris in the many game reserves around the country. Another highlight is seeing the unique tree-climbing lions in  Queen Elizabeth National Park ! Uganda is excellentall year, but its peak seasons are from January to February and between June to September when it's driest, making gorilla trekking easier.

Safari was a great time with Serengeti African Tours, The safari was wonderful, we slept in cabins and tent. Food was very delicious and our guide Kelvin was amazing he had alot of knowledge of wild animals and general knowledge... Highly recommend Serengeti African Tours
Absolutely fantastic! I was with a lovely group of people, the guide and driver were brilliant and the accommodation was out of this world. Only down side is lots of travelling but the experience made up for it. Loved the Fig Tree and masi mara.
We got the best accommodation and also toured some of the best scenic places.

Popular East Africa Safari Destinations

east africa safari tours

East Africa is home to some of the world’s most spectacular safari destinations. From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the forests of Rwanda, this region of the world offers abundant wildlife and stunning natural wonders. Here are several of the top countries in East Africa for spectacular safaris:

While East African safaris are possible year-round, many travelers aim for the annual Great Migration in Tanzania and Kenya between July and October.

The dry season from July through October is considered the peak safari season in most parks. Grasslands are less dense, making it easier to see the wildlife. Large herds congregate around dwindling water sources. From July to October, you can witness the Great Migration in Kenya's Masai Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti as wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle move between the countries.

Visiting during the November to June wet season has advantages too. Rains bring the landscape to life with greenery and wildflowers. The climate is also quite comfortable, aside from potential afternoon rainstorms. Ultimately the best time to visit East Africa depends on your safari goals, and we can help you find the perfect time for your trip.

With its sprawling savannas, majestic mountains, and abundant wildlife, East Africa offers seemingly endless options for extraordinary safaris. Here are some of the best places to visit in East Africa on safari :

  • Serengeti National Park, Tanzania: The Serengeti savannas are famous for the Great Migration and are home to the Big Five. Explore the vast plains and river crossings on the ultimate wildlife safari.
  • Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya: Known for large lion, leopard, and cheetah populations, Masai Mara is a wildlife viewing paradise. Time your visit for the Migration's incredible sightings across the lush landscape.
  • Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania: The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO site offering remarkable scenery and wildlife density in a unique caldera setting. From cultural villages to surprising landscapes, experience the untouched beauty on safari.
  • Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda: Home to endangered mountain gorillas, Volcanoes National Park offers travelers a chance to trek the forested slopes to observe the surprisingly friendly gorilla families up close.
  • Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda: The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is a prime destination for tracking endangered mountain gorillas amidst lush rainforest terrain to spend afternoons watching the playful animals.

From up-close encounters with iconic wildlife to seeing breathtaking natural wonders, East Africa promises unforgettable safari experiences. Here are some of the top things to do in East Africa on safari :

  • See millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River in Kenya and Serengeti in Tanzania during the Great Migration
  • Trek through dense rainforests to observe gorillas in their natural habitat
  • Explore the Serengeti, Masai Mara, and other reserves on guided drives to spot the Big Five and bountiful wildlife
  • Gain a unique aerial perspective flying over the Serengeti plains during sunrise on a hot-air balloon safari
  • Descend into the massive Ngorongoro Crate for close-up sightings of lions, elephants, rhinos, and more
  • Discover nocturnal wildlife like leopards, bush babies, and hyenas on specialized nighttime game drives
  • Learn about Maasai traditions and way of life when visiting a village community

The diversity of iconic African wildlife you may encounter on an East African safari is truly phenomenal. Each park promises different highlights and concentrations of animals to discover, and here are some of the most notable creatures:

  • Nile crocodiles

An East African safari is a true adventure, so come prepared with proper attire and gear to make the most of your experience . We suggest safari-goers pack the following in addition to one’s typical packing list:

  • Neutral, light-colored clothing
  • Lightweight, waterproof rain jacket
  • Long pants for bush walks
  • Hiking boots or walking shoes
  • Camera with a zoom lens and extra memory cards
  • Insect repellent
  • UV protection, including but not limited to sunscreen, hats, lip balm, and sunglasses

Safaris throughout East Africa are safe.

Countries like Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda have incredible reputations as premier safari destinations, with wildlife posing little threat when proper precautions are taken. By following the instructions and guidance of your expert game rangers and the park rules, you can safely observe wildlife in their natural habitats.

Petty crimes like pickpocketing or luggage theft can happen but are uncommon during East African safaris within the tourism infrastructure. Simple vigilance in securing valuables and working closely with your guides will minimize any security issues.

Whether you seek the classic savanna wildlife spectacle or prefer going beyond the beaten path, we can help you find the best East African safari itinerary and tailor the perfect trip just for you. Here are some of our most popular safaris to inspire your travels:

  • Embark on the ultimate East African adventure with our Wildlife Wonder: 11-Day Kenya and Tanzania safari, pairing Kenya's renowned Masai Mara with Tanzania's iconic Serengeti for a comprehensive big game experience.
  • Venture beyond the well-trodden safari trail to the hidden wonders of East Africa on our Untouched East Africa: 11-Day Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda journey, combining wildlife, culture and natural beauty in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

Our Glorious Two-Week Safari: Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda takes you to the highlights of Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda for the ultimate exploration of East Africa's most magnificent wildlife, landscapes, and cultural encounters.

Where to Encounter the Endangered mountain gorillas?

Well, Mountain gorillas are found only in 3 countries that is Uganda the pearl of Africa, Rwanda the land of a thousand hills and DRCongo all thriving in Democratic Republic of Congo. In Uganda, you will be able to encounter gorillas in 2 destinations including Mgahinga gorilla national park which harbors only 1 Gorilla family that has been habituated for trekking. Another destination is Bwindi impenetrable national park that is a home to the population of the endangered mountain gorillas thriving with over 20 habituated gorilla families in 4 sectors of Rushaga, Buhoma, Nkuringo and Ruhija. Gorilla trekking in Uganda as of 2021 costs $700 for foreign Nonresidents, $600 for Foreign Residents and Ugandan shilling 250,000 for East African citizens. In Rwanda, Mountain Gorillas are found in one destination, Volcanoes national Park and a permit to trek this endangered creatures costs $1,500. Finally, in DRCongo, Mountain gorillas are found in Virunga national park. A permit to trek gorillas in Virunga national park goes for $400 during high season and $200 for low season. Whichever destination you choose for gorilla trekking, the experience is rewarding and memorable. Keep it in Mind that gorilla trekking lasts for only 1 hour in close vicinity of these primates but the forest walk as you search for these gorillas can last from a few minutes to several hours depending on movement of these gorillas since they always roam the forest in search of food. The duration in the forest can as well depend on the speed used by trekkers since it always has to be in favor of the slowest person in the group. In case you will to spend more time with gorillas, there is yet a fascinating whole 4 hours experience with the mountain gorillas and the process known as Gorilla Habituation experience and it is done only in Bwindi impenetrable national park in Rushaga sector and it costs $1500 per person.

East Africa Safaris Tours

East Africa safaris tours are designed to take tourists on a safari to at least two or more East African countries in just one safari. Amongst the countries to explore while on East Africa safaris tours include Uganda the pearl of Africa, Rwanda the land of a thousand hills, Tanzania , Kenya and Congo . Each of these countries in east Africa has its own unique and fascinating tourist attractions ranging from primate species such as Gorillas, chimpanzees, Golden monkeys, baboons, monkeys, mammal such as  Big 5 game, bird species, reptiles, flora species, and the local community members. Several travelers on an east African safari tour usually choose to use an East African tourist visa though it includes only 3 destinations which include Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda. This implies that to enter into Tanzania, and Congo, travelers must obtain Tanzania and Congo tourist visas respectively.

Let’s have a look at the best East Africa safaris tours destinations

As mentioned above, a safari is valid to be called an East Africa safari only if it covers at least 2 destinations in East Africa.

Tanzania safaris tours: Tanzania is one of the best destinations to visit while on East Africa safari tour due to existence of several tourist attractions which include several national parks such as Serengeti national park that is the most visited national park that harbors the Wildebeests. Several travelers on an East Africa safari tour visit Serengeti national park in order to witness the migration of the Wildebeests which seasonally migrate between two national parks of Serengeti national park in Tanzania and Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya. Apart from Serengeti national park, Tanzania has other several national parks that are best destinations for wildlife viewing safaris and these include Lake Manyara national park which is also frequently visited by tourists in order to have a glance at the tree climbing lions. This can be joined with a visit to Queen Elizabeth national park in Uganda to view more tree climbing lions since these unique species are only found in two beautiful countries in East Africa and that is Tanzania and Uganda. There is also a famous park known as Tarangire national park for wildlife viewing safaris in Tanzania, the Ngorongoro conservation area, Mount Kilimanjaro national park, Arusha national park, Lake Natron and many more national game reserves which include Selous game reserve, Uwanda game reserve among others. A safari to Tanzania opens the door to game drive/ wildlife viewing safaris, birding safaris, boat cruise safaris, nature walks, cultural safaris, hot air balloon safaris, beach safaris etc.

Wildebeest in Serengeti

Kenya safaris tours: Like Serengeti national park in Tanzania , Kenya also got the magical Masai Mara national reserve best known for harboring the largest population of wildlife species including the wildebeest that are seen on a migration via Mara River to and from Serengeti national park in Tanzania. This implies that an East Africa safari tour to Serengeti national park and Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya is one of the best east Africa safaris that enables tourists to watch the wildebeest on a migration in the two countries. Other than Masai Mara, Kenya has other plenty tourist destinations which include Lake Nakuru national park famous for harboring flamingos and other beautiful water birds. A Kenya safari also takes travelers to Tsavo national park both Tsavo East and Tsavo west national parks, Hell’s Gate national park, Amboseli national park, Samburu national park, Mt. Elgon national park and many more all with unique attractions of fauna and flora. Kenya is also a best destination for wildlife viewing safaris, birding adventures, Mountain hiking safaris, nature walk, cultural tours, swimming and boat cruise safaris among others. A combined East African safari to Kenya and Tanzania can easily be tailored since the two countries are close to one another with close national parks such as Masai Mara and Serengeti that are separated by Mara River. Grab your east Africa wildlife safari to Masai Mara and Serengeti national park to enjoy unbeatable expedition in east Africa.

Giraffes in Masai Mara National Park - Kenya

Uganda safaris tours: An East Africa safari without Uganda is incomplete because there is a whole lot of things to see with in this landlocked country known as Uganda the pearl of Africa. This implies that Uganda is the most beautiful destination that should never be left out while on a tour to east Africa. A safari to Uganda enables tourists to visit the most powerful waterfall known as Murchison falls (the devil’s Cauldron) which is situated in the oldest and largest national park in Uganda that also harbors the big 5 games as long as tourists visit Ziwa Rhino sanctuary along the way to or from Murchison falls national park. There is yet an encounter with the rare and endangered primate species which is none other than Mountain gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable national park. It’s in record that Uganda harbors the largest population of endangered mountain gorillas with more than a half of the remaining gorillas surviving in Bwindi impenetrable national park. There is also one gorilla family in Mgahinga national park. The one and only Nyakagezi gorilla family. Trekking mountain gorillas has always been the most fascinating and adventurous experience in the pearl of Africa. The remaining population of endangered mountain gorillas is found in Volcanoes national park in Rwanda and in Virunga national park with in Congo so one is in position to enjoy gorilla trekking safari in East Africa with in 3 destinations including Uganda, Rwanda and Congo. There is yet another adventurous activity of chimpanzee trekking which is carried out in Kibale forest national park one of the best primate destinations in Uganda with 13 primate species. Other chimpanzees in Uganda are trekked in Budongo forest in Murchison falls national park, Kyambura gorge & Kalinzu forest of queen Elizabeth national park,  and Ngamba chimpanzee sanctuary. The savanna national parks of Uganda are also the best destinations for wildlife viewing safari and these include the most beautiful queen Elizabeth national park which is the home to the tree climbing lions and the stunning kazinga channel that harbors a huge populations of Hippos. Lake Mburo national park, the best destination for walking safaris in Uganda, Semliki national reserve the best destination for the nature walks to visit the sempaya hot springs and cruise along Lake Albert. Hike some of the beautiful mountains including Rwenzori Mountains, Mt. elgon, and many more.

Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park - Uganda

Rwanda safaris tours: Rwanda is also a beautiful country to explore while on an east Africa safari. Rwanda is termed as a land of a thousand hills due to plenty thrilling hills with beautiful terraces. Rwanda is yet amongst the destinations visited by travelers on a safari to east Africa due to its beautiful attractions which include national parks like Volcanoes national park that is situated within Virunga massif that is well known for harboring the endangered mountain gorillas and the volcanic mountains. In Rwanda, it’s only in volcanoes national park where tourists trek the endangered mountain gorillas with other mountain gorillas found in Congo and Uganda. Another beautiful national park to visit in Rwanda is Nyungwe forest national park which harbors 13 species of primates including Chimpanzees, monkeys, baboons and many other primates. A fascinating canopy walk is also another golden opportunity never to miss while on an east Africa safari and it’s only enjoyed in Nyungwe forest national park Rwanda. For thrilling game drive adventures in Rwanda , visit Akagera national park for game drive safaris in the savanna vegetation cover and boat cruise along Lake Ihema. Apart from National park, Rwanda is also frequently visited by travelers who wish to know the history of Rwanda, visit the genocide memorial sites where thousands of Rwandese were murdered in cold blood. Lake Kivu is also a beautiful lake to visit while on Rwanda safari due to its stunning views of the surrounding including the view of Mount Nyiragongo which is situated in Congo with in virunga massif and many more.

Volcanoes National Park - Rwanda

The best time for East Africa safari tour

The best time to have an east African safari depends on the activities one intends to do otherwise a safari to east Africa can be done at any given period of time all year round but the best months to visit the parks in east Africa is during the dry months when the parks are dry, accommodations are dry and the sighting of the wildlife is easy. 

For instance, the dry months are the best seasons for primate viewing safaris, game viewing safaris, walking safaris, hiking safaris and visiting the beaches in East Africa. In these months, the vegetation cover is minimal for easy sighting of the wildlife and easy trailing through during the hiking and trekking safaris while the rainy months are the best months for birders to visit East Africa since most of the bird species reproduce in rainy months and also visit the forest due to existence of plenty food to eat.

On the other hand, travelers who wish to watch the wildebeests on migration, I recommend to visit east Africa during the months of July, August, September, October, and November which is the season for the Wildebeests to migrate through Mara River. 

Conclusion : Book your East Africa safari tour to either two countries within an East African region or you may even book a safari that covers all the 5 countries which include Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Congo. Focus East Africa Tours is always ready to tailor for you a desirable Itinerary that suites the destinations you intend to visit.

10 Things you need to know before traveling to Tanzania

10 Things you need to know before traveling to Tanzania :  Traveling makes us discover new things, and cultures as well as make new friends. Getting away from the busy tech world and immersing yourself in the virgin natural beauty is incredibly captivating. Still wondering, where you can explore the untouched beauty? Worry not, we have you covered.

Tanzania is a lovely country jam-packed with natural beauty, amazing cultures, breathtaking mountains, and a pleasant climate. You have tons of things to explore on a Tanzania safari. This country is home to Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest freestanding peak, and Serengeti National Park, the world’s most famous animal park.

You can’t skip to names Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire National Park on the list of captivating attractions in Tanzania . However, before you travel to this country, there are a few things worth knowing. Here are the 10 things you need to know before traveling to Tanzania:

#1. The Great Migration is unpredictable

You may be interested in trekking the Great Migration, or just to see it. And, to be honest, the largest part of this awe-inspiring event happens in the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park. This gives you more chance to see this wonderful event.

However, you should know that wildebeests have their clocks. Their migration greatly depends on the availability of pasture and water. Sometimes, the rainy season may extend to late May or end very early in April. This affects the Great Migration.

Wrong timing may happen. For example, you want to witness the Mara River crossing. This event does not happen daily. So, you may be disappointed for missing a crucial moment of the Great Migration. To avoid this, get in touch with your tour operator to get the recent updates on traveling.

#2. Have Cash in Your Pocket

Though you have booked everything in advance, you may need to pay for some goods and services during your safari. While some accommodations accept credit or debit cards, you will have to pay for other services with cash.

Therefore, we advise you to bring some cash on hand to make your trip enjoyable. ATMs and payment agents are abundant in towns, but not as many as in the bush. Your guide will take you to the nearest ATM for cash withdrawals, but it is important to have enough cash on hand.

#3. Tanzania is not just for wildlife safaris

If you thought so, you were wrong. While the country is famous for wildlife adventures, it offers more than just wildlife safaris. Tanzania is home to other eye-catching attractions, like lake vistas, towering volcanos, exquisite beaches, and much more.

You can visit historical sites such as Bagamoyo Ruins, Songo Mnara Ruins, Olduvai Gorge, and the Stone Town among others. You can also interact with Tanzanian welcoming tribes. The world-famous Maasai people are in this fabulous country, not to mention the Hadza bushmen, the Datoga, and Barbaig.

#4. Plan your travel in the best time

Before you travel to Tanzania, we advise you to plan your trip at the best time. Tanzania is a year-round destination, but some things may not be explored in a certain period. For instance, to witness the magnificent Mara River crossings, you need to time your travel between July and September.

The dry season in Tanzania falls between June and October. It is regarded as the best time for wildlife viewing and mountain hiking safaris. The roads are passable and the grasses are short, thus enabling visitors to see wild animals.

#5. Be respectful when talking to the locals

When interacting with Tanzanian locals, watch your tone. Tanzanians are polite and won’t be impressed with any kind of harsh language. Always try to learn simple Swahili phrases to use when talking to a local. These include “ mambo vipi ?” (how are things), habari za asubuhi (how is your morning), “Asante sana” (Thank you so much), and others. By using these phrases, they can socialize with you and teach you a few more words.

#6. The right hand

 In some countries, both right and left hands are treated equally. In Tanzania, things are different. Taking things by using the left hand is considered disrespect. Always use your right when eating with locals or when passing things. When awarded a gift usually receive it in both hands. It shows respect from the receiver.

#7. Dress respectfully, especially when visiting the locals

Don’t get me wrong! They don’t plan what you should wear, but Tanzanians are conservative. When visiting their families try to put on nice clothes. If you want to be looking more like a native, try their outfits. For women, you can put on your shorts and add a khanga to look like a native.

#8. You need a visa

Except for East African citizens, other visitors coming to Tanzania need a visa. If you don’t have a Tanzanian visa , don’t worry, they’ll process it upon your arrival. Upon getting your visa, you are free to explore the natural beauty of this country.

#9. Take all necessary medication

Before you travel to Tanzania, make sure you contact your doctor about any medication. Malaria is always a threat to beginners in Tanzania. Make sure you bring some antimalarial drugs. You should also take a yellow fever vaccination. Other diseases include typhoid fever, hepatitis A and B, tetanus, and meningitis. You should consider them for immunizations.

#10. Before taking photos: Ask first

You may be amazed by Tanzanian beauty and want to take a photo. Before doing that, ask for permission first. Ask your guide to ask for you if you find it hard to speak to the locals.

Whether you want an unforgettable African safari or anything else regarding tourism in Tanzania, Focus East Africa Safaris will make your trip unforgettable. Join us to uncover the unknown wonders of this country.
