Morning Flight to Masai Mara National Reserve

This is normally during rush hour so expect some traffic. Wilson is a nice airport and there should be time for some refreshments before boarding the 45-minute flight to the Mara. Here, we will be picked up by custom-built four-wheel drives and transferred to the camp. After being shown to our spacious walk-in, luxurious tents, we will take an afternoon game drive with sun-downers. This is the first of many game drives in this prolific area.

Sharpen your Photography Skills on The Vast Plains of The Masai Mara

Game drives start right from the camp, as it is not uncommon to have wildlife wandering through at some stages of the day. The drives are very much like a movable feast. Some days, the drives will be long, whilst others are much shorter, depending on the movement of the game and tips from the bush telegraph. Our team will however be trying their hardest to ensure that photographic opportunities are frequent, but will not be dashing around ticking off species. Early, very early, starts are the order of the day. Though we normally find some shade for lunch in a beautiful spot and to relax a bit. Unless, that is, we come across a migration crossing or hunting cheetah! These drives are not endurance tests but a full day out on the plains can be quite tiring. They also will involve patience, as a hungry cheetah will often wait many hours before making her move.

On the 3rd Day of the trip, we will be able to join in for an early morning hot air balloon followed by a bush English breakfast.
