East Africa

The continent's great stage: wildlife, Rift Valley, and ancient culture.

East Africa is the crucible of human evolution and the stage for the planet's greatest wildlife spectacle. The Rift Valley fractures the continent from the Afar Triangle to Mozambique, leaving behind a chain of soda lakes, volcanic craters, and savanna plains that host more large mammals than anywhere else on Earth. We travel here for the Great Migration, for the mountain gorillas of Volcanoes National Park, and for the quietly extraordinary culture of the Maasai and Swahili coast towns.

Why travel here

  • The Great Migration: 1.5 million wildebeest in seasonal circuit

  • Ngorongoro Crater: Big Five in a single caldera day

  • Mountain gorilla trekking in the Virunga

  • Zanzibar Stone Town: UNESCO spice trade history
