Yes, you can absolutely combine a South Africa safari and a Rwanda gorilla trekking experience into one spectacular African adventure. Joining the ultimate big-game safari in South Africa with Rwanda's misty rainforests creates a bucket-list itinerary that showcases the very best of Southern and East Africa.

While South Africa delivers world-class savanna game viewing and vibrant city life, Rwanda offers an intimate encounter with the endangered mountain gorillas. Together, they form an unmatched contrast of landscapes, wildlife, and cultures.

Best time to do this combined Safari

The best time to embark on a combined South Africa and Rwanda safari is during the long dry season from June to September. This window creates a rare climate alignment where conditions are optimal for both high-density big game viewing and mountain gorilla trekking
