15 Day Best of Tanzania's Wildlife, Volcanoes, Flamingos & Rwanda Mountain Gorillas 2027

The Best of Tanzania’s Wildlife, Volcanoes, Flamingos & Rwanda Mountain Gorillas 2027 group safari offers an exceptional journey through some of East Africa’s most remarkable destinations, hosted by Shannon Brunsdon and Aaron Wilkins. This carefully designed itinerary showcases Tanzania’s most diverse ecosystems before culminating in the unforgettable experience of trekking to see the mountain gorillas of Rwanda.

The journey begins in Arusha National Park, exploring the scenic Momella Lakes and spotting abundant birdlife framed by Mount Meru’s dramatic slopes. Continue to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its ancient baobab trees, vast elephant herds, and varied wildlife. Travel onward to Lake Natron, a striking volcanic landscape that serves as the largest breeding ground for lesser flamingos in the world, surrounded by rugged terrain and extraordinary natural beauty.

Next, venture to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest unbroken caldera on Earth, where a thriving population of wildlife roams across fertile plains. The adventure continues into the Serengeti National Park, where endless golden savannahs host spectacular sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, and—depending on the season—the Great Wildebeest Migration.

The final chapter of the safari takes place in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, where a guided trek through misty bamboo forests offers one of the world’s most profound wildlife encounters: meeting wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.

Travelling with a small group of like-minded guests, friends, and family, this safari offers seamless logistics, warm hospitality, and outstanding guiding throughout. It is an opportunity to experience the very best of East Africa’s landscapes, wildlife, and culture in one extraordinary journey.
