Description
Join a group visiting the Maasai Mara Reserve and watch the wildebeest migration on a 4-day safari (meals and accommodation ). Admire the Great Rift Valley and watch cattle crossing the Mara River.
July to October is the wildebeest migration season and is considered the best time of year to visit the Maasai Mara. Game viewing is best at this time because there are plenty of predator and prey interactions.
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara
After breakfast, depart from Nairobi and drive along the bottom of the famous Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara. Along the way, you'll stop at the Great Rift Valley Lookout to enjoy stunning panoramic views of the region's lakes, plains and volcanic terrain. You'll then stop to stretch your legs in the Maasai town of Narok before continuing on to Kenya's most famous reserve. You'll arrive at the lodge in time for lunch before heading into the park for an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight at tented camp or lodge.
Day 2 & 3: Masai Mara Full Day Safari Explore the park 2 day safari. Due to the unpredictable nature of the wildebeest migration, we allow an additional 2 days in the Masai Mara to increase your chances of witnessing the famous river crossing. Every year, entire herds must attempt the perilous crossing of the Mara River, where they contend not only with strong currents but also with the ever-hungry Nile crocodiles that call the river home. It takes a lot of patience and a bit of luck, but witnessing the dramatic river crossing is worth the effort. Have dinner and overnight in a tented camp or hotel.
Day4: Masai Mara to Nairobi .
After breakfast, you will bid farewell to the Masai Mara and return to Nairobi to continue your journey.
