Rwanda safari vs Kenya safari?

Direct answer

Kenya dominates classic savanna — Masai Mara Great Migration (July–October), Amboseli elephants with Kilimanjaro views, and 25 national parks with infrastructure from USD 150/day camping to USD 1,500+/night fly-in camps. Rwanda is a compact 4–7 day primate-and-savanna specialist: USD 1,500 gorilla permits, Akagera's reviving Big Five on 1,122 km², and far fewer tourists. Choose Kenya for migration scale; Rwanda for efficient primate luxury.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
