Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi. Along the way, your guide will provide you with intriguing insights.

Day 3

Exploring the Masai Mara

Exploring the Masai Mara

Today is a very flexible day. After breakfast, you will be able to explore the spectacular scenic and wildlife viewing in Masai Mara. A full-day game drive is an ideal activity. This is the highlight of the safari because you'll spend a lot of time exploring and looking for the Big Five.

During July-October, the wildebeest migration is one of the most remarkable natural events in the animal kingdom, involving millions of wildebeest, along with zebras, gazelles, and other herbivores. This migration occurs annually in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. The Mara River crossing is one of the most famous events of the migration. The wildebeest must cross the river to reach the fresh grazing areas of the Masai Mara in Kenya. This crossing is perilous, as the river is filled with crocodiles that wait for the wildebeest to venture into the water.
The herds are also vulnerable to lion and hyena attacks as they attempt to cross.

Dinner and overnight stay at your camp/lodge.
