Day 1

Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

You will be picked up by our representative, take part in a short briefing, and drive to Masai Mara. You will go through Narok Town before entering the plains on your way to camp. You will enjoy lunch either in the dining hall or under the shade of an indigenous tree. You will enjoy a few minutes of relaxation before you depart for an afternoon game drive in search of the Big Five. Masai Mara is named after the traditional Maasai inhabitants and the Mara River. You will be driven by the river which is a great place to spot wildlife. This area is a photographer’s delight where, with any luck, you will be able to take amazing pictures of the hippo and crocodile in the water. The small size of the lake area funnels all varieties of animals into a tight space. The park allows for off-road driving which means that guests can venture into plains where hundreds and thousands of animals live. Later in the day, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay.

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drives

After breakfast, with a picnic lunchbox in hand, you will take off for a full day of game viewing in Masai Mara. Today's safari offers you a unique variety of animals. This hilly region is both humid and fertile and is crossed by the Mara and Talek Rivers full of crocodiles and hippos. The abundance of water and excellent availability of food are the reasons Masai Mara has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic spectacle between July to October, wherein you can experience the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras. This migration also invites predators such as hyenas, jackals, leopards, and lions to closely follow these herds. Later in the evening, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
