East Africa is a treasure trove of wildlife, scenery, and culture. It offers an incredible opportunity to experience the majestic beauty of landscapes and encounter some of the world’s most remarkable wildlife, making it an unforgettable destination. The region is home to some of the world’s most recognized national parks, such as the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, and Ngorongoro Crater, and wildlife species like gorillas, the big five, millions of migratory birds, and many more.
If you plan to explore East Africa on a safari, make sure you have chosen the right destination and activities to make your experience truly unforgettable. At Nakuja Expeditions, we offer our clients a range of experiences to ensure they get the most out of their family, honeymoon, and private safari in East Africa. We will discuss some of the most unforgettable experiences to have on safari with us!
Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda is one of the few places where you can encounter mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The park is home to over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, making it one of the top destinations in East Africa for wildlife enthusiasts. We offer a 12 Days -11 Nights Safaris, Rwanda, Uganda & Tanzania tour that includes gorilla trekking in Bwindi, where you’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with these incredible primates.
The trek can be a bit challenging, but the experience of spending time with these majestic creatures in their natural habitat is truly unforgettable. The trek will involve hiking through thickly forested terrain to reach the gorillas, and upon finding them, you will have approximately one hour to observe their behavior and take photos. The gorillas are habituated to human presence, so they are relatively tolerant of observers, but it’s essential to follow our guides’ instructions closely to ensure everyone’s safety and the well-being of the gorillas.
Witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti
Another unforgettable experience to have on safari with Nakuja Expeditions is witnessing the wildebeest crossing in the Serengeti. The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is famous for its incredible wildlife, and the great migration is one of the most spectacular events in the animal kingdom. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest crossings, along with hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, migrate from the Serengeti to the Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of better grazing grounds.
However, the migration timing and route are unpredictable, which is why it’s crucial to plan your safari with an experienced guide like Nakuja Expeditions, and we can help you track the movement and ensure you witness this natural wonder.
Our 13 days -12 nights long Family Safari is an excellent option for families who want to witness the great migration in the Serengeti. You and your family can witness this awe-inspiring natural spectacle while enjoying the comfort and safety of our specially designed-safari vehicle with knowledgeable guides who will explain everything you see along the way.
Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater
Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater is also an incredible experience to have on safari on your East African safari. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, which shelters an incredibly diverse ecosystem of wildlife. You will see a diverse range of animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, warthogs, and even the endangered black rhino. Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater with Nakuja Expeditions is a safe and educational experience that will allow you and your family to witness the beauty and complexity of nature firsthand.
Our 10 days & 9 nights Serengeti Tarangire Zanzibar and Ngorongoro Private Safari tour is an excellent option for those who want to explore the Ngorongoro Crater. This tour is led by experienced guides who will ensure your safety and provide you with in-depth knowledge of the area while also allowing you to witness the diverse wildlife that calls the crater home.
Zanzibar Safari And Beach
Zanzibar is a tropical paradise located off the coast of Tanzania and is famous for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and rich cultural heritage. After a long and adventurous East African safari, nothing beats relaxing on the Zanzibar beaches. You can take time to unwind and reflect on your unforgettable experiences while soaking up the sun, enjoying delicious seafood, and exploring the historic Stone Town.
Our Family Safari includes a Zanzibar beach holiday as an ideal way to wind down after the adventure-packed safari. You can also enjoy activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and dolphin watching while enjoying local cuisine.
Cultural Tour in Maasai Mara
The Maasai are one of the most fascinating and unique tribes in Africa. A cultural tour in Maasai Mara will allow you to interact with the tribe and learn about their traditions, beliefs, and way of life. It is a fascinating insight into a culture that has remained largely unchanged for centuries and will leave you with a deeper understanding and appreciation of East African traditions.
Hot Air Balloon Safari Over the Serengeti
For a truly unique and breathtaking experience, consider taking a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti. You will never forget the view of the vast savannah plains and magnificent wildlife from high up in the sky. Watching herds of wildebeest and zebras from a bird’s-eye view is an experience that cannot be matched.
As you soar over the savannah, you can also catch a glimpse of predators like lions and cheetahs hunting for their prey. Watching the sunrise while floating effortlessly in the sky is an unforgettable moment you will cherish forever.
