It shares borders with Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique to the South.

Witness the life and death struggle for survival as the surging herd must cross swollen rivers and outrun the predators that their unmissable presence attracts. This is an African safari experience par excellence.
