42 Day African Explorer - Nairobi to Victoria Falls Overland Tour
This leisurely overland tour offers the opportunity to observe rare mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, explore East Africa's most popular game parks like the Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, and visit the lesser known ones including the Samburu National Reserve and scenic Lake Nakuru.
On Zanzibar you can explore the intriguing alleyways of Stone Town and relax on the gorgeous beaches. We spend some time on the banks of Lake Malawi, one of Africa's largest freshwater lakes, and end this exciting trip in the adrenalin-charged town of Victoria Falls, where you can see the thunderous falls and have a go at a number of optional adventure activities.
