I'd like to know too!
Would love to hit up Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, Zanzibar, and climb Kilimanjaro in the near future

I spent 3 months traveling through Africa in 2014, I wrote a fair number of blog posts although most are just photos from many of those destinations:

I am about to head out the door but the one thing I will say is there is simply no replacement for time. In my opinion, anything less than a month is not worth the expense and difficulty of flying to East Africa. Short of the uber $$$ private plane everywhere approach, the only way to get between these destinations is to drive. The destinations are long ways from each other and the roads are terrible - there are many days where we did 8-10 hours at an average of 50km/h or less because the roads were dirt, gravel, or simply so riddled with potholes that you couldn't go faster or risk damaging your vehicle.
More to come.
Mark

spent a month in uganda. had several chances to go to Zanzibar which i regret not doing!
totally know what you're talking about lowside. from kampala i had to take a 6 hour ride in a rackity van with no suspension and literally doubled in the designed passenger capacity, including some livestock. the first time was an experience but did it like 4 times it was the worst.
