“To travel is to live.” ― Hans Christian Andersen

We are currently counting down to our next exciting adventure… East Africa! Yes, we are going on the ultimate bucket list trip of a lifetime – The quintessential African Safari!  It’s all been leading to this one…

Two years of planning and it’s now only 1 week until takeoff. We will fly via Singapore and Dubai to Uganda. From there, we have hired a Toyota Landcruiser with a local driver/guide for an 11 day tour of the highlights of Uganda. Places we will visit include: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls (on the Nile), Kibale Forest (Chimp tracking), Queen Elizabeth National Park (Tree Climbing Lions & Hippos) and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Mountain Gorillas!!!).

We will then drive across the border into Rwanda and onto the capital city, Kigali for a couple of nights. After checking out the sights in Kigali, we will fly to Arusha, at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania where we will once again have our own Landcruiser with a driver/guide for 10 days.

Tanzania is all about the famous National Parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the famous Serengetti. We hope to see the Big 5: Lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. Hopefully we will also be able to catch the Great Wildebeast migration – fingers crossed.

Our safari will end with a week of R&R on the beautiful island of Zanzibar which is just off the coast of Tanzania (Freddie Mercury’s birthplace).

We will then stay in Dubai overnight before winging our way home….
