10 Days Gorilla Trek And Big 5 Safari Tour

Authentic encounters, Iconic Destinations, Unforgettable experiences.
Tucked in between the iconic safari destinations of Kenya and Tanzania, Nuru offers guests some of the best primate tracking on the planet – set against the backdrop of its endless green hills and soaring mountainsides. With over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population, it’s no surprise that the majority of guests visit Rwanda to track and view this highly endangered species. Rwanda is superb for primates in general, including the fun-loving Sykes monkey, the Golden monkey and the boisterous chimpanzee in the Nyungwe Forest. Despite a turbulent past, Rwanda is a safe and friendly destination testament to the resilience of its people. This is peerless, and possibly the most poignant experience on earth. Mountain gorillas’ lives in the mountain forests of Uganda, Rwanda and Congo as well as West and Central Africa. There are about 1000 mountain gorillas remaining on Earth, in fact the only mammal species whose population is increasing; thanks to concerted conservation efforts and sustainable tourism in the regions. About half of the population live in the montane forests of the Virunga mountains, a volcanic chain that covers Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The tracking experience is just as exciting as the actual gorilla viewing, you might see other species of monkeys, rare birds and tropical flowers along the way.
For guests seeking a deeply enriching safari, Nuru offers an experience that is difficult to find anywhere else with iconic destinations combined with unforgettable personalized experiences.

What do you need to consider?

Green Season The vast herds of migratory wildebeest make their return to the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti. Roughly 500,000 of these wildebeest are pregnant females, ready to drop their calves between late January and early March. You will have the exclusive opportunity to stay in a private camp located right in the heart of the southern plains, and with some luck, you will have a front row seat to this amazing spectacle. This safari also visits the central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the award-winning Gibb’s Farm.

Dry Season This dry season safari focuses on the world famous Ngorongoro Crater, as well as both the central and northern Serengeti. The crater and central Serengeti hold immense numbers of resident wildlife, and the northern Serengeti’s Kogakuria/Lamai Wedge will be brimming with migratory activity, as nearly two million grazers arrive in search of green pasture. It is at this time of year when travelers have the best chances of photographing the famed Mara River crossings.

July–Oct → Northern Serengeti (Mara River crossings).
Dec–Mar → Southern Serengeti (calving season).
