The Gorillas to Cape Town Safari truly does what its namesake says - give you a 69 day extraordinary road trip from Rwanda to South Africa, with time to trek the endangered mountain gorillas, before heading further into Uganda and Kenya to then journey south to Cape Town with so many special highlights on the way.
We have put the Pre-Departure Booklet together from our 30 plus years of overlanding experience in Africa and we hope you will find this useful as you plan your trip.
There is information on how to arrange your flights, pre safari accommodation suggestions in Kigali, as well as options for when you finish your trip in Cape Town.
When considering plans for the end of your tour, we strongly recommend staying on for a few extra days to get the most out of all there is to see and do in and around Cape Town.
There are many special highlights included in the price of the Gorillas to Cape Town Safari - from the Masai Mara to Etosha National Park. There is also an abundance of exciting and varied optional activities from which you can choose as well. The booklet has further information on these including the Zanzibar Island stay, gorilla trekking, as well as adventure activities in Victoria Falls and the houseboat cruise on Lake Kariba.
Whatever your interests there will be plenty to busy yourself with! And of course let us know if you have any questions or need more information about all that is available to see and do on the route. Questions like what to bring for the visit in the local orphanage we support, where to shop for a piece of Tanzanite, how to upgrade to a deluxe boutique hotel on Zanzibar and special restaurants available en route - always feel free to ask.
You will receive a personal update about 10 days before departure which includes final confirmations of pretour transfers, accommodation and other details relating to your specific travel arrangements so you can check all is as you need.
Remember to periodically check back here as well as this information is regularly updated. It is also a good idea to keep an eye on the news area of this site and if you are not excited enough about heading to Africa already, join us on our Facebook page or on twitter, and keep up to date with our blogs of all that is happening on the road.
