GREAT MASAI MARA EXPEDITION 2 NIGHTS 3 DAYS
Highlights: Great Rift Valley, Wildebeest Migration, Game and Bird Watching, Hippo Point, Culture, Manyatta, Photography.
This safari is to Kenya’s greatest concentration of game - the Maasai Mara. On our way, we pass through Kenya’s Rift Valley Escarpments which offer some of the most breath taking views.
Maasai Mara is considered as Kenya’s & East Africa's finest game sanctuary, it is here that the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place -
The great annual Savannah Migration! Millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti National Park to the Maasai Mara in search of water and pasture.
The predators of the savannah (Lions, Cheetahs, Wild dogs, Jackals, Hyenas and Vultures) trail on their heels for a bountiful meal.
Other than the spectacular migration, the Mara also offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe. Over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. The Big Five - Lion, Rhino, Buffalo, Leopard and Elephant are easily spotted.
Day 1:
A short briefing on the safari before we proceed to Maasai Mara Game Reserve with a prompt departure at 0730hrs. We will drive through the escarpment via the floor of the Great Rift Valley making a brief stopover at Mai Mahiu view point to capture the escarpment. Lunch stopover at Narok.
Arrive at Maasai Mara at 1600hrs. We set camp before dusk. Dinner, overnight stay and bonfire at the campsite.
In the night you can hear a chorus of different animal sounds as they communicate with each other in the darkness – What better way to experience wilderness by night?
Day 2:
After an early breakfast, we spend a full day in search of the Cats of Mara. This Reserve forms part of the Great Mara-Serengeti Eco-system. Picnic lunch will be served at the Mara River Hippo Point where Hippos and Crocodiles can be viewed basking at the river side. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange tinted sunsets and you will definitely want to capture this moment while sipping on a sun downer back at our campsite. Dinner and overnight stay at the Campsite / Lodge
Day 3:
After breakfast, break Camp and drive through the northern part of the reserve viewing game as we proceed to the main Narok road where we will have lunch. We return to Nairobi to arrive by late afternoon.
