The equator is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It’s also a great place to go on safari. In Kenya, you can visit the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the most famous wildlife reserves in the world. Here, you’ll have the chance to see the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes), as well as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. You may even be lucky enough to witness the annual wildebeest migration, which is one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth.

From Kenya, you can cross the border into Uganda, where you’ll visit the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, and it’s one of the only places in the world where you can go gorilla trekking. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will allow you to get up close and personal with these amazing creatures.  Your safari will also take you to other stunning destinations in Uganda, including Lake Mburo National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Murchison Falls National Park. Here, you’ll have the chance to see even more wildlife, including lions, elephants, hippos, and crocodiles.

But what makes a safari in Kenya and Uganda truly special is the fact that you’ll be traversing the equator. This is a unique opportunity to stand on the line that divides the Earth into two halves, and it’s a moment that you’ll never forget.
