Day 1
Nairobi- Masai Mara
Nairobi- Masai Mara
At 7:30 am your driver/guide will pick you from your hotel, residence or Nairobi airport in a private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser to begin this week-long adventure. We will hit the road for approx 4 hrs 120 km and head south to the great Masai Mara Park via Kenya’s central highlands passing local farms and communities. We’ll make stops along the way to enjoy the views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. We’ll be entering Masai country so keep an eye out for local herders tending to their cattle. We should arrive at the park about lunchtime and freshen up at our accommodation and set out on our first game drive. The rolling hills and dramatic acacia trees will first greet us as we track for lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the over 95 different animal species that inhabit this very rich ecosystem. Towards evening, we’ll head back to our Mara safari lodge to relax, enjoy dinner, and recap our first safari day.

Day 2
Full day at Masai Mara
Full day at Masai Mara
We’ll have an early morning breakfast and then set out to see the morning bring the park alive with light and birdsong. This is a day of unlimited game drives. Just discuss your preferences with your guide safari – how much exploring and how much relaxation time you’d like. Your guide will want to take you to the Mara River for a picnic lunch and to see the hippos and crocodiles inhabiting this special border. During the season of the Great Migration (July – October), this is the crossing site where wildebeests and zebras by the thousands enter the park from the neighbouring Serengeti. It’s an unforgettable spectacle as the multitudes of grazers flow into the Mara only to be met by the awaiting crocodiles, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and other predators. We offer an optional early morning hot air balloon safari over the park and see the great wildlife below or opt to visit local Maasai village learn about their pastoral lifestyle and buy some of their colourful beaded handiwork.

Day 3
Masai Mara- Serengeti
Masai Mara- Serengeti
Let’s get up early for morning breakfast, check out of the accommodation and embark on 6-7 hr drive for the crossing into Tanzania and Serengeti National Park. We’ll head to the border town of Isebania and then cross from Kenya into Tanzania. The Serengeti is part of the same ecosystem as the Masai Mara, but it is in these lands that the masses of wildlife are born and raised before trekking over into the Mara in search of taller grasses and more sources of life-sustaining water.
The vast, almost treeless plains of the Serengeti are home to huge numbers of wildlife, not just the thousands of wildebeests and zebra but also great prides of lions and other big cats.

Day 4
Full day Serengeti
Full day Serengeti
We will wake up for an early morning breakfast and get ready to head out for the days activities. Just like at the Mara, we’ve designed this safari for a full day exploring this magnificent park. Enjoy several morning and afternoon game drives. We can’t miss the uncountable wildebeests here and depending on the season, you may witness their birthing by the thousands. Later in the year, these animals flow to the Masai Mara, beginning the Great Migration. The Serengeti is home to perhaps the largest number of lions anywhere but we’ll also be tracking for cheetah, zebra, giraffe, gazelle, eland, impala, hippo and the curious and downright amusing warthog. The vastness and rich displays of wildlife at the Serengeti never fail to impress. After a very full of animal watching, we’ll head back to our safari lodge for dinner and evening relaxation for the next days activities.

Day 5
Serengeti- Ngorongoro
Serengeti- Ngorongoro
After an early morning breakfast we’ll check out of the accommodation and head out on a journey of 3- 4 hrs drive for a full day traveling from one iconic ecosystem to another in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
On the way, we’ll make a stop at Oldupai Gorge, the most noted anthropological site in the world where they discovered thousands of fossilized remnants of early man’s activity – an incredible record of tools and artifacts showing our evolution from millions of years ago. We’ll arrive at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera on the planet. Descending the crater wall in our 4 x 4 we’ll enter a thriving environment of big cats, elephants, rare black rhinos and even dense birdlife, like pink flamingoes in the area’s marshlands. We’ll enjoy lunch down the crater floor with more game drives and towards evening, we’ll head up the volcano wall to enjoy a dazzling sunset at the crater’s rim before
retiring back to our accommodation for dinner and rest.

Day 6
Ngorongoro- Lake Manyara
Ngorongoro- Lake Manyara
If we rise early we shall have breakfast, check out of accommodation and head out so that we can be treated to a spectacular sunrise at the crater’s rim and thereafter embark on a 1 and a half hrs drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara is not a large park but it is known for its beauty and of-course the lake itself. Colour is a key element here – the blue of the lake contrasts with the thousands of feathery pink flamingoes dressing its shores. It’s an iconic sight as any in Africa and certain to enchant. The park is also famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions, a fascinating evolutionary adaptation. Look for them overhead, resting or scanning for prey from their perch up in the trees. We’ll enjoy dinner at our Lake Manyara lodge and have an overnight much anticipated rest.

Day 7
Lake Manyara- Arusha or Nairobi
Lake Manyara- Arusha or Nairobi
We will get up early morning have a delicious breakfast and check out of the lodge before we head to this pretty park that's even more serene and attractive in the early morning light. We’ll take another game drive to soak up the scenery, colour and perhaps some game like impala, gazelle, hippo, giraffe and baboon before embarking on the journey to Arusha. After arrival in Arusha, you choose to do the following to be dropped off at your Arusha hotel which can be arranged at an extra cost, Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport or choose to return to Nairobi in Kenya. A full week filled with vast savannahs holding lions, leopards, and cheetahs… and an extinct volcano home to a rich assortment of wildlife plus flamingoes by the thousands. Too many unforgettable memories to sort through at once and it will take time to absorb everything you’ve seen. Thank you for choosing Wildmist Adventures for unforgettable moments and looking forward to see you and your referrals on your next safari with us.
