Introduction

DISCOVER DIVERSE EAST AFRICA

Immerse yourself in iconic destinations on this 10-day bucket list itinerary that whisks you away to the gorilla haven of Rwanda, spectacular wildlife in an ancient volcanic crater, and losing yourself in the barefoot paradise of the Spice Island Zanzibar. Your journey begins in Rwanda, where you will trek one of the world’s most extraordinary species in Volcanoes National Park, made famous by primatologist and conservationist Dian Fossey. The next leg of your adventure lures you to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. Spend a day in this World Heritage Site, an extinct caldera that is home to over 70 000 animals, including the Big 5 and endangered black rhino. Your journey culminates on Mnemba Island, a tiny island covered in white coral sand. Surrender to absolute tranquility on serene sunset strolls, gift yourself holistic well-being with yoga and massages, explore the kaleidoscopic underwater world, and gain insight into marine conservation initiatives being made by andBeyond and the Island team. Gain a deeper understanding of the magnificent diversity and unique cultures of East Africa, and explore the two significant heritage sites of Ngorongoro Crater and Stone Town. Stay in three of the most architecturally unique and interesting lodges in East Africa, and create unforgettable memories on this itinerary that explores a trio of captivating regions.
