Day 1

Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll depart for the Masai Mara from Nairobi and make it to the Masai Mara in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive. The Mara reserve has an extraordinary density of animals; including the Big Five and an array of plains game. The Mara River cuts through the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem giving life to the two game reserves before pouring out into Lake Victoria. The highlight of this safari is the instinct-led migration of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara which happens during the high season. The predator-prey spectacle is even more thrilling on a game drive as you watch the animals outrun their predators nearby.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya)
Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and July or August to October (For wildebeest migration)
