The trip serious travellers dream about: days among the Serengeti's migration herds and Ngorongoro's crater wildlife, then a flight to Kigali and two days in Volcanoes National Park with the gorillas. The greatest wildlife show on earth and its most intimate, in one seamless itinerary.

Safari expert's note

June–September aligns the migration river crossings with Rwanda's dry trekking season — the perfect overlap window.
