lucky to experience the seventh wonder of the world in end of May
Using a pop up roof land cruiser we managed to explore masai mara on a 3 days 2 nights package.
We started our trip on 26th May . The next day 27th as we were doing our normal full day game drive with peter as it caught us by surprise that we happened to see the migration. Everything else went as planned . i really recommend booking with pega tours for great safaris.

Be careful! They tried to cheat us!
Our experience with Pega tours was terrible! We booked two safaris with them ( Hell's gate and Nakuru). We made the deal with Peter, and he charged us 50$ each for the driver and guide in Nakuru and another 50$ each for driving us to Hell's gate and hire a guide in there. The entrance fees and the bike rental were on us.
At Nakuru everything went all right , but when we arrived to Hell's gate they told us we had to pay for the guide. We called Peter and we explained him that we paid 100$ to him for the driving to Hell's gate but also for having a guide in there, and he just hung up the phone to us after saying the 100$ were just for the transportation. Even the guides from Hell's gate were shocked for what he was doing !!! Eventually, our driver, who was great, managed to talk to him and convince him to pay the guide, because we were already talking about coming back to Nakuru.
So my advice is: do not hire anything with them, or at least with Peter! He'll try to do the same!

Unforgettable three days in Masai Mara
Everything was perfect right from the beginning. I booked my safari in Nakuru with Pega Tours, as I was very pleased with their welcoming, natural style, the clear information I got to my questions, and the very reasonable price. We had a warm welcome from the great guide/driver John, then took off in a very comfortable vehicle with pop-up roof. We had a buffet- lunch in a quiet restaurant inside a garden. The camp, slightly outside the Mara, was cozy, well maintained with lots of flowers, and friendly staff. It had simply furnished tents with private bathrooms and a small veranda, a buffet-style restaurant/bar and picknick tables for sitting outside, reading, dreaming, listening to the birds ... After a rest at the camp, we went on our first game drive, beautiful. The next day was a full-day game-drive, absolutely unforgettable. We saw amazing numbers of wildlife, including a pride of lions, a leopard, and even a cheetah with her cubs !!! The guide/driver John was a friendly, experienced, very knowledgeable man, he explained us so much, in perfect english, obviously he really liked his job. He really made our trip so much more enjoyable, apart from the wildlife, of course. For lunch, we had a picknick by the river, peaceful, nice views.
On the next morning we had a last game-drive, where we saw a rhino, so everybody got to see the "big five" apart from lots of zebra, wildebeest, various types of antilope, gazelle, as well as many giraffes, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, and lovely scenery. There was an excursion to a Masai village later on(I didn't participate, as I had met so many Masai people before) but the people who went said, they had enjoyed it. Leaving the camp and the Mara was very sad ...... On the way back we had a last good lunch at a lovely restaurant, and as I didn't want to go back to Nakuru, at my demand, John dropped me at Naivasha, near Lake Naivasha. I had three unforgettable, happy days and I know, I was lucky for having gone with this honest, friendly company. Thanks so much !!!
