Day 1

Nairobi Airport – Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi Airport – Masai Mara National Reserve

It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch, which will be followed by an afternoon game drive.

Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge.

Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya)
Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and August to October (For wildebeest migration)
High Season June to October and December to March

Day 2

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drive

Masai Mara National Reserve Game Drive

After breakfast, we'll go on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where you can see the Big Five on a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under your vehicle, and several even climb onto the roof for a better view of potential prey.

For the bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these are 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

Northern Serengeti Migration Game Drive

In the morning after breakfast, you will proceed with your safari to track the great migration in Northern Serengeti NP.

Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds.

In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a game drive en route to the campsite.

Ngorongogoro Crater Game Drive - Karatu Town

The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tanzania, famous for being the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and a major tourist attraction. It is home to a high concentration of wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinoceroses), and is considered one of Africa's Seven Natural Wonders. The 610-meter-deep crater contains a diverse ecosystem with various habitats and a shallow alkaline lake called Lake Magadi. It is unique because the Maasai people are allowed to live and graze their livestock in the surrounding conservation area, though not within the crater itself.
