Day 1 Nairobi – Masai Mara

Depart Nairobi for Masai Mara at 07.00 a.m. Pass through the lower scenic Mau escarpment road into the Rift Valley to the 1792 square, kilometre Masai Mara National Reserve to arrive in time for lunch. The afternoon is spent on a game drive. Lion making a kill can be witnessed in the late afternoon or a leopard in a tree enjoying the meal he has dragged up to avoid disturbance and detection. This reserve has hilly savanna, rolling grasslands, gallery forest on the Mara River and its tributaries.  The ‘big five’ are positively represented here. The large predators are the lion, leopard and cheetah. The smaller predators are the hyena and jackal. The large herbivores are the elephant, rhino, Burchell’s zebra, hippo, buffalo and giraffe. The smaller herbivores are the antelope and bucks. The Maasai ostrich, the world’s largest bird is found in the park

Overnight in a lodge or camp in the Reserve.

Meals: Lunch and Dinner

Day 2 Masai Mara

A full day of game viewing and exploration in this part of the Northern Serengeti Ecosystem where the great wildebeest migration takes place. Months before the actual migration the herds ‘assemble’ in Serengeti in readiness for the crossing into Masai Mara. The plain is literally covered with these animals. Grunts and other animal sounds are heard, and territorial fights are commonplace. The migration, now declared the Seventh Wonder of the World takes place from end June to beginning September.
