5 Days: Masai Mara Migration Safari
Day 1
Masai Mara Game Reserve
After breakfast from a city hotel or from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will depart by road to the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, covering an area of 1,510 square km (583 square miles), the Masai Mara National Reserve is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife, and endless plains. It’s also considered a “must-see” by almost all visitors going on safari because the park is graced by a wide variety of unique and exquisite wildlife and birds with over 95 species of mammals and more than 400 different bird species. It’s world-renowned for its population of big cats and the famous wildebeest migration as they cross the Mara River. Together with Serengeti National Park, they form one of the world’s most diverse eco-system classified as a premium safari destination for the Big Five Safari. Upon arrival at the camp/lodge, you will experience a connection with culture and nature like never before. Lunch will be served outside the main restaurant with an excellent view of the Mara plains or Mara River from a distance. An afternoon game viewing is scheduled for you on this day.

Day 2 & 3
Masai Mara Game Reserve
For the next two days, you shall have unlimited game viewing trying to discover the myth of the fascinating natural phenomenon of the largest ungulates on earth. Each year millions of wildebeest, zebras, elands, and antelopes cover a distance of approximately 3,000km from the south of Serengeti to Masai Mara in search of green pastures and water. Guests can catch a glimpse of the magnificent migration on different points of their migration route but the Mara River crossing activity is considered the climax of the migration period which occurs in the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya between July to the end of October. The Mara River also known as the “River of Death 395 km long” crossing is an event that will take you through a range of emotions: anticipation, heartache, inspiration, excitement and so much more. The sheer sight of the first herds of animals rushing blindly into the crocodile-infested river will make you long for this wildebeest migration every year. You might have viewed this dramatic event on your electronic screens but if it is your first time to view in reality, believe us that it is going to be the most thrilling lifetime experience packed with action.
