East Africa is the crown jewel of African safari destinations.  Of all the East African nations, those that make up the East African Community (EAC), Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, offer some of the best wildlife viewing in the world.  Kenya and Tanzania are renowned for their concentrations of wild animals (particularly the "big five", elephants, rhino, lion, leopard and cape buffalo) and Uganda provides one of the few opportunities remaining to experience the mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. 
For those more inclined to the beauty of landscapes, East Africa is home to both Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the two tallest peaks on the continent of Africa.  The region also boasts the world’s second largest freshwater lake, Lake Victoria, and the world’s second deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika.  In addition, global plate tectonics have created stunning vistas along the area known as the Great Rift Valley.
