Gorillas & Mara

Flamingos on the Rift Valley lakes, white water rafting on The Nile in Uganda, traditional Kenyan game farms near Nakuru, incredible African Safari sightings in the Masai Mara and the stunning tropical scenery of Uganda are just some of the special things you will see on this holiday.
