Plan East Africa around the experiences you actually want.
Pillars of Africa Safaris connects practical safari planning across Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. Start with our safari tours when you already know roughly how many days you have, browse destinations when a park or region inspires the trip, or compare activities such as gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, game drives, walking, culture and photography. The website is designed so every useful page leads naturally to the next planning step. Uganda works especially well for primates, the Nile and varied wildlife; Rwanda makes short, well-connected gorilla and savannah journeys possible; Tanzania brings the scale of Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro and the coast. Use the country websites below, then combine places and experiences into one realistic route.
