East Africa is the easternmost region of the African continent, variably defined by geography or geopolitics. "East Africa" commonly refers to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, and sometimes Rwanda and Burundi. Some parts of East Africa are renowned for their concentrations of wild animals, such as the "big five" of elephant, cape buffalo, lion, leopard and rhinoceros. You are likely to see all these during your safari in East Africa.

The geography of East Africa is often stunning and scenic. Shaped by global plate tectonic forces that have created the Great Rift Valley, East Africa is the site of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the two tallest peaks in Africa. Today, tourism plays an important part in the economies of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
