Plan the right East Africa safari for Uganda, Kenya, or Rwanda
Adventures and Hikes Safaris USA helps travelers in the United States book unforgettable wildlife journeys across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda. From gorilla trekking and classic Big Five game drives to wide-open savannahs and intimate forest encounters, we help you choose the destination that fits your travel style, pace, and priorities.
Three remarkable safari experiences, each with its own character
Whether you want iconic plains wildlife, mountain gorillas, or a balanced mix of adventure and comfort, these destinations offer very different kinds of trips.
Best for travelers who want diversity: gorilla trekking, chimpanzees, boat safaris, and lush national parks with a more off-the-beaten-path feel.
Ideal for first-time safari guests, families, and anyone dreaming of classic game drives, the Maasai Mara, and dramatic open landscapes.
A strong fit for travelers seeking a refined, shorter luxury safari centered on gorilla trekking, scenic hills, and easy regional access.
For travelers who want variety, adventure, and unforgettable primate encounters
Uganda is one of East Africa's most rewarding safari destinations for travelers who want more than one style of wildlife experience in a single trip. Here, you can track mountain gorillas in Bwindi, search for chimpanzees in Kibale, cruise the Nile in Murchison Falls, and enjoy classic game viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
It suits curious travelers, couples, active retirees, and repeat safari guests who value biodiversity, rich scenery, and a journey that feels immersive rather than crowded.
- Mountain gorilla trekking
- Chimpanzee tracking
- Boat and game safaris
For classic safari landscapes, abundant wildlife, and milestone trips
Kenya delivers the iconic safari many travelers picture first: sweeping savannahs, large herds, elegant lodges, and exceptional wildlife viewing. From the Maasai Mara to Amboseli and beyond, Kenya is especially strong for Big Five safaris, family travel, and beautifully paced itineraries.
It is a natural choice for first-time visitors to Africa, multi-generational groups, photographers, and anyone who wants a polished safari with legendary game drive experiences.
- Classic Big Five safaris
- Great for first-time visitors
- Excellent family itineraries
For shorter luxury journeys built around gorilla trekking and exceptional scenery
Rwanda is known for its breathtaking hills, well-managed parks, and high-end travel experience. Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park is the signature highlight, and many travelers pair it with Kigali, golden monkey tracking, or regional extensions for a compact but deeply memorable trip.
Rwanda is especially well suited to luxury travelers, honeymooners, busy professionals with limited time, and guests who want a seamless primate-focused safari.
- Luxury primate travel
- Excellent for shorter trips
- Scenic, well-organized itineraries
