Day 1

Transfer to Masai Mara National Reserve

Transfer to Masai Mara National Reserve

Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or the airport. Depart to the Masai Mara National Reserve, a 5-hour drive, and arrive in time for lunch. The Masai Mara is a pristine wilderness of haunting beauty. It promises its visitors a profusion of wildlife, prolific birdlife and the opportunity to see 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 lion-gold grasslands, 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 - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino - and popular species like zebra, giraffe, hyena, eland and gazelle. The Mara’s big cats are even the stars of a popular wildlife TV series! Enjoy an afternoon game drive to spot the Big Five as your introduction to the park. Return for dinner and your overnight stay.

Day 2

Masai Mara Full-day Game Drive

Masai Mara Full-day Game Drive

You’ll enjoy a full day in the Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives. The Masai Mara National Reserve offers one of the best opportunities to see cheetahs and lions in Kenya, Africa. A visit to this reserve in July will allow you the best chance to witness and watch firsthand as thousands of wildebeest migrate across the crocodile-infested Mara River. This is one of nature’s greatest wildlife spectacles - the wildebeest migration.

The migration is a dramatic mass movement of almost 2 million wildebeests, zebras and gazelles in a seasonal, annual cycle driven by rainfall. Wildebeests make dramatic river crossings and face enormous crocodiles to feast on the Mara plains and regain their strength to reach Masai Mara's fresh grazing. November's short rains trigger the last leg of the migration when the wildebeest move south to Serengeti. Return to the tented camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
