LET’S GO OUT TO AFRICAÂ
East Africa, Uganda & Zanzibar
I left my house at 7:00 am in California, United States, and in less than 24 hours, I found myself in the heart of Africa. Uganda, known as one of the safest countries in Africa, was my destination. There, I indulged in a four-day adventure that took me to some of the most breathtaking sites the country has to offer. One of my first stops was the Murchison National Park, where I embarked on unforgettable safaris. As someone deeply passionate about wildlife, I made it a point to visit a rhino sanctuary.
It was there that I learned about the significant efforts being undertaken to protect these majestic creatures. However, the highlight of my safari excursions was undoubtedly the group trip to Jinja. Here, we delved into the exhilarating world of white water rafting on the mighty River Nile, a memory that will stay with me forever. After my enriching experiences in Uganda, I boarded a flight to Tanzania, setting my sights on a Zanzibar safari.
Saying that Zanzibar Island feels like no other place on earth does not quite capture its essence; it’s something you truly have to experience to believe. The island captivated my heart in a way few places have. Overwhelmed by the beauty and unique experiences I had, I felt compelled to share the African vacation package itinerary that had led me on this incredible journey. I’m excited to announce that this same itinerary will be available again in the summer of 2024.
