But getting to Africa isn’t easy—joining a tour group makes it much more convenient. The tour introduced this time will depart at the end of August this year, visiting Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania,Rwandaand other countries. It’s also the first tour group from Hong Kong to explore Rwanda and Zanzibar Island, offering a rare itinerary in the market. Visiting five African countries in one go is indeed a rare and precious experience.

In Africa, only Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda allow visits to wild gorilla communities, with Rwanda being the most popular among travelers.
The itinerary of this African journey is quite distinctive, highlighting two lesser-known destinations for Hong Kong travelers: Rwanda and Zanzibar Island. Rwanda, once ravaged by war, still retains its reputation as the “Land of a Thousand Hills.” The country is covered with rolling mountains and European-style architecture scattered across the hillsides, offering picturesque scenery. But Rwanda is not just about mountains—on those very hills live one-third of the world’s mountain gorilla population. With this African tour, you’ll have the chance to venture deep into the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, accompanied by park rangers, to visit these mysterious gorilla communities—a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Zanzibar Island, part of Tanzania, is famous for its clove production and is known as the “World’s Most Fragrant Island,” also hailed as a hidden paradise in the Indian Ocean. The itinerary also includes a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Stone Town,” watching the endless sunset on the island’s eastern beaches, and an opportunity to tour the former prison-turned-tourist attraction, Prison Island, while learning more about organic herb cultivation.
It’s worth mentioning that to make this African experience even more perfect, Jetour specially sent personnel to conduct on-site inspections in Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania, personally testing the itinerary and incorporating its most exciting elements.
Being in the midst of such wonders is bound to deliver a powerful sensory impact—auditory, visual, and tactile—leaving you in awe of the power of nature.
In addition, this African journey will include a visit to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World—Victoria Falls. As one of the world’s three largest waterfalls, Victoria Falls spans 1,708 meters with a maximum drop of 108 meters, exuding immense grandeur. Locals also call the falls Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “the smoke that thunders.” The cascading waters send plumes of mist into the air. This time, you’ll even get to take a helicopter ride for a bird’s-eye view of the falls—an experience alone well worth the price. Beyond the helicopter tour, there are also plans for a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River with wildlife spotting, making it a highly worthwhile destination to visit and leave your footprint.

Watching the sunset on the African savannah is sure to be a unique experience.
What’s an African photography trip without witnessing the spectacle of the “Great Migration”? This itinerary will also take you through Kenya’s most famous national reserve—Maasai Mara.
The itinerary arranges for you to explore various reserves in open 8-seater jeeps, with each vehicle carrying only four group members—offering both spacious comfort
and ensuring everyone gets a window seat to track wildlife.
Every July, millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, crossing the Mara River into Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, returning around September or later—a breathtaking natural spectacle of a million-strong parade.
For the best view of this awe-inspiring natural wonder, a hot air balloon ride at dawn is ideal. The balloon floats at the optimal wildlife-watching height of 500–2,000 feet, offering a front-row seat to the Great Migration.
The azure sky, magnificent sunsets, and diverse wildlife all make for incredible photographic material. Though Africa has seen rapid economic development in recent decades, it still retains its unique primal essence. Want to capture Africa’s rare treasures through your lens?
