What is a multi-country African safari?

Direct answer

A multi-country safari links two or more nations in one itinerary—common combos include Kenya's Maasai Mara plus Uganda's Bwindi gorillas (fly Nairobi–Entebbe), or Tanzania's Serengeti plus Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park (Kilimanjaro–Kigali, 1 hour). East Africa's 0 Tourist Visa covers Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda; allow 10–14 days, book gorilla permits 6+ months ahead in each country, and budget 0–0 for regional flights.

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.
