Tanzania Migration Safari & Rwanda Mountain Gorillas 2026

Tanzania & Rwanda Safari Expedition – Hosted by Shannon Brunsdon & Aaron Wilkins

The Ultimate Wildlife Encounter Through East Africa

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime group safari across the heart of East Africa, journeying through Tanzania’s legendary national parks and deep into Rwanda’s rainforest mountains. This 13-day expedition is hosted by seasoned travelers Shannon Brunsdon and Aaron Wilkins, and is crafted for adventurers seeking raw wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, and meaningful travel shared with a like-minded group.

Your journey begins in Arusha National Park, where flamingo-lined lakes and the looming presence of Mt. Meru set the scene for an unforgettable safari. Then head to Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem known for its giant baobab trees and some of Tanzania’s largest elephant herds. Continue to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural amphitheater teeming with lions, buffalo, zebras, hippos, and the elusive black rhino.

Next, travel to the world-famous Serengeti National Park, where you’ll explore the northern reaches near the Mara River. Here, you’ll witness the Great Wildebeest Migration (seasonal), with the chance to observe river crossings, predator action, and extraordinary wildlife scenes from luxury tented camps in the bush.

Your East African adventure concludes in Rwanda, where you’ll trek through the lush, misty forests of Volcanoes National Park for a deeply moving encounter with endangered mountain gorillas. This is one of the most powerful wildlife experiences on Earth — a rare chance to witness these majestic primates in their natural habitat.

This expertly guided group safari is ideal for friends, families, solo travelers, or returning safari-goers looking for a deeper, multi-country African experience.
