Rwanda, Uganda & Tanzania

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania together form one of Africa's most compelling travel corridors, spanning the Great Rift Valley, vast savannahs, and ancient rainforests. The region is world-renowned for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in the Bwindi, Volcanoes, and Kibale forests, alongside legendary wildlife safaris in Tanzania's Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Rwanda's capital Kigali is celebrated for its cleanliness and safety, while Zanzibar's spice-scented coastline and coral reefs draw beach lovers and divers. Travellers come here for a rare mix of primate encounters, the Great Migration, cultural depth, and some of East Africa's most dramatic landscapes.

Rainforests & Reefs: Self-Launched Kigali to Zanzibar

A self-launched version of Absolute Africa's 18-day "Rainforests and Reefs" overland trip — mountain gorilla trekking in Uganda's Bwindi rainforest, the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a slow crossing of Lake Victoria, safaris in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, a Kilimanjaro foothill stop, and four days of beach and Stone Town on Zanzibar. Instead of a 28-person expedition truck you'll use local buses, minibus shuttles, shared 4x4 safari vehicles, the public ferry and cheap guesthouses — the same route, the same big-ticket experiences, roughly a third of the price. Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP and exclude international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Rwanda, Uganda & Tanzania yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
