Tour Overview

Day 01 :Nairobi - Masai Mara Hotel: Miti Mingi Eco Camp or similar Departing from the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, we drive down the escarpment via the floor of the scenic Great Rift Valley.We arrive at Masai Mara Game Reserve in time for lunch in the afternoon. Having checked in at Lenchada tourist camp, we take our first thrilling game drive in the Masai Mara game reserve, one of East Africa’s top safari destinations. 6pm return to the camp for dinner and overnight stay. In the night you can hear a chorus of different animal sounds as they communicate with each other in the darkness – more than enough reason to visit. An evening sundowners cocktail as you view the sun go down is a good way to end the day at an extra cost. Dinner and Overnight at Miti Mingi Eco Camp. Day 02 : Masai Mara Game Reserve Full Day Hotel: Miti Mingi Camp or similar After breakfast leave for a full day game drive with picnic lunch at mara river migration bride area. This day is spent game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. Our morning and afternoon game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. Optional Early morning Masai Mara hot air balloon ride: Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but reasonably common.The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October to December. There is nothing thrilling like a bush dinner to end such an adventurous day at an extra cost. Return in the evening for Dinner and overnight at the camp. Day 03: Masai Mara - Nairobi We start the day with an early morning game drive from 6.30am to 9.00am you might be lucky to witness hunting. At an extra cost followed by a visit to the maasai village to conclude your Maasai Mara safari experience. We depart from our safari camp at 10:00am and take an enroute game drive through the Masai Mara Reserve on day three. Then we return to bustling Nairobi, arriving at about 16:00pm in the afternoon.

Reviews from travellers on this tour

MACKENNA

KENYA SAFARI

13-Feb-2020

The Masaai Mara was breathtaking, and we really enjoyed it. However, our guide was awful. He was uninteresting, not knowledgeable about any flora or fauna, and was unprofessional. I have so many examples, but one I will share was I literally had to argue with him to stop the car so we could see a mama and baby elephant, he refused saying "we have already seen elephants." Additionally, when there was a pile of cars looking at something, he drove by and I asked if we could stop, he said it was "just antelope" and kept going. I can guarantee it wasn't "just antelope." He did this several times. Overall, he did not enjoy being a guide and did a very poor job. Having traveled around the world for this experience, we were very disappointed. Like I said, the place was a dream, the tour guide was a nightmare. The company should demand better from their guides.
