How to Extend Your Safari to Rwanda or Kenya
How to Extend Your Safari to Rwanda or Kenya, Planning a safari in Uganda is already a bucket list adventure, but did you know you can make your journey even more rewarding by extending it to Rwanda or Kenya? Combining multiple East African destinations allows you to experience diverse wildlife, landscapes, and cultures within one trip. Here’s how to plan your multi-country safari extension seamlessly.
Why Combine Uganda with Rwanda or Kenya?

- See more wildlife variety: From gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda to the Great Migration in Kenya.
- Maximize your flight investment: Traveling across borders makes your long-haul flight more worthwhile.
- Experience different cultures: Each country offers unique traditions, cuisines, and history.
- Tailor your adventure: Whether you want luxury lodges, cultural encounters, or budget safaris, you can mix and match experiences.
Extending Your Safari to Rwanda
Easy Access from Uganda
Rwanda shares a border with Uganda, making it simple to extend your safari by road. For example, after trekking gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, you can cross into Rwanda for chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest or a canopy walk experience.
Must-See Highlights
- Volcanoes National Park: Famous for gorilla trekking.
- Nyungwe Forest National Park: Known for chimpanzees and rainforest hiking.
- Lake Kivu: A relaxing stop with scenic beauty.
Rwanda is compact, so you can enjoy its highlights within a few days.
Extending Your Safari to Kenya

Must-See Highlights
- Masai Mara National Reserve: Witness the Great Wildebeest Migration (July–October).
- Amboseli National Park: Iconic views of elephants against Mount Kilimanjaro.
