Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve
You will be picked up in the morning from your hotel or airport. You'll drive to Masai Mara National Reserve arriving in time for lunch. Masai Mara National Reserve is a pristine wilderness of haunting beauty promising its visitors a profusion of wildlife, prolific bird life and the opportunity of catching up with all the members of the Big Five in one morning. The 1,800 sq km of this veteran reserve offers a mix of African imagery; miles of grasslands, lilac-misted hills, a meandering river, acres of thorn-bush and mile upon mile of undulating wilderness. Game-viewing in the Masai Mara is excellent all year-round thanks to the diverse population of resident game, including the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos and rhinos) plus popular species like zebras, giraffes, hyenas, elands and gazelles. You will have an afternoon game-viewing session to spot the Big Five as your introduction to the park. Later, you will return for dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
You will spend the day in the Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives. Masai Mara National Reserve offers one of the best opportunities to see cheetahs and lions in Africa. A visit to this reserve in July will allow you the best chance to witness and watch firsthand as thousands of wildebeests migrate across the swollen crocodile-infested Mara River. This is one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles, the wildebeest migration. The sheer number of wildebeests arriving in the area is staggering. The migration is a dramatic mass movement of almost two million wildebeests, zebras an gazelles in a seasonal annual cycle driven by rainfall. To reach Masai Mara for fresh grazing, wildebeests make dramatic river crossings, facing enormous crocodiles on the Mara River. November's short rains trigger the last leg of the migration when the wildebeests move south to Serengeti. You will return for dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.
