9-Day Great Migration Serenegti And Bwindi Gorillas
Combining Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda) offers the ultimate East African safari, pairing vast savannah game drives with intimate mountain gorilla trekking. Serengeti is renowned for the Great Migration and Big Five, while Bwindi provides a premier, dense rainforest experience with over half the world’s endangered mountain gorillas.
Tanzania and Uganda beckon on this 8-night adventure that weaves together the finest safari experiences the regions offer.
Start your Nine-day Serenegti And Bwindi journey into the Serengeti ecosystem at the tranquil Legendary Lodge, close to Arusha, where you may relax and acclimatise. Next stop: Namiri Plains, a secluded area in the eastern Serengeti famed for its abundant big cat populations, especially cheetahs.
You will be in the best spot to see the Great Migration while the herds are in the area if you travel north to Sayari. An appropriate Ugandan farewell to your safari is a three-night stay at Erebero Hills, with its ancient landscapes and abundant wildlife.

You can enjoy game drives or simply just sitting in camp and watching wildlife surrounding Sayari outside of migratory season. While you’re not out viewing the many creatures for which the Serengeti is famous, relax in the spa, take a dip in the pool, or just sit on your veranda and listen to the wildlife.
