Ultimate 3 Week East Africa Itinerary
During a three-week stay in East Africa, you can easily visit many conservation areas and national parks throughout two or three nations. The Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, Serengeti, and Tarangire National Parks are located in Tanzania and Kenya, making those two countries the most popular choices. Rwanda offers deep cultural experiences, while Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks are great alternatives for those who are keen to see gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitats.
