  Welcome to East Africa. This is your gateway to the land, animals, culture and people that is East Africa. A place of beauty, excitement, intensity and serenity; whose life is projected in every sound, sight and smell that this majestic land has to offer. There is an undeniable draw to this incredibly diverse and unique area of the world that was the cradle for all humanity. It is as if Mother Africa is calling out to all her children to come visit her so she can nurture them again; and every individual who answers the call, is forever transformed for having paid her a visit.

Throughout time, Africa has been both feared and admired. From its exotic wildlife to untamed landscapes, there has been an attraction to this oldest continent surrounded by curiosity and mystery. Africa has seen many changes in geology, climate, politics and economic hardships; and through each adversity it has come away triumphant and stronger. Nowhere in Africa are these changes more prevalent than in the countries of East Africa. One look at East Africa, from any world map or satellite image, will ensure that you have come across a true diamond in the rough.

The term “East Africa” refers just as much to the culture as it does to its geographic location. Due to the ever changing political boundaries and social migrations, East African culture and history can be found in most every country outside the geographical location of East Africa. The countries that are indisputably East African, both by culture and location, are Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. The countries; Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia to the north, and; Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe to the south, all have extremely close ties to East African culture and location as well.

This website is your #1 resource and your East Africa Gateway. It contains a general guide for East Africa tourism, as well as historic and cultural insights of this land that has been at the forefront of innovation since the dawn of civilization. Because of the immense amount of information that each country contains, the main focus of this website will be on the countries of; Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. However, our resources can be used for travel and inquiries of any of the African countries. We want all to experience the life-changing event that is Africa and get a better understanding for where they came from.

Thank you for entering the East Africa Gateway. We hope you stay a while.
