Die Route der geplanten Kenia – Uganda Tour 2023/2024 führt von Mombasa (Kenia) in Richtung Süden und über Tanga nach Tansania in die Usambara-Berge mit einer tollen Aussicht am Irente Viewpoint.
Von Marangu am Fuße des Kilimanjaro geht es auf eine Kili-Rundtour and weiter zum Arusha National Park. In der Folge liegen der Ngorongoro-Krater und der Lake Nagtron auf dem Weg.

Über Singida und Kigosi erreichen wir Ruanda und plötzlich ist alles anders.

Bald überfahren wir den Äquator, passieren den Bunyonyi-See und den Queen Elizabeth-Park. Noch weiter Richtung Norden geht es zum Victoria-See und zu den Quellen des Nils.

In Kenia erwarten uns Lake Bogoria und Nakuru oder der Mt. Kenia.
