Destination:Maasai Mara
Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara and Serengeti form a contiguous ecosystem, the playground of the annual wildebeest migration, the greatest and most spectacular mammal migration on earth. Supporting over 273 herbivores per square kilometer, the Mara boasts of one of the richest assemblage of wildlife in the world. Besides herbivores, the Mara has a large representative of predators-lions, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards. There are no dull moments in Masai Mara. Nature is always at play. Days are eventful and scenes keep on changing as nature wonderfully unfolds before your eyes. It is a one in a lifetime too many. At one station it's a lionesses hunting-the stealth stalking, the adrenalin chase, and the eventual capture or disappearance of the prey. In the far corner is a pair of ostriches walking the plains oblivious of the happenings around. And in the same breath you notice a pair of cheetahs perched on a rock surveying the plains. Bird watching is superb with 450 species recorded. The Marsh lions featured in BBC Big Cats Diary series are found in the Musiara Swamp, in the Musiara sector of the park. The best time to visit Masai Mara is of course during the annual wildebeest migration Jul-September.

Day3
Masai Mara

A full day at the Maasai Mara game reserve, with morning and afternoon game drives across the plains. Maasai Mara is famed for its rich assemblage of wildlife, supporting 273 herbivores per kilometre square at a time. The big five elephants, buffalos, leopards, lions and Rhino are all represented. During annual wildebeest migration, vast herds of wildebeest cover every inch of the plain giving them a vivid semblance of canvas painting. The migration is a closely watched phenomenon. On the heels of migrating herds of zebras, wildebeests and Thomson’s gazelles are hounds of predator and scavengers; vultures providing. Not to be left human beings from the four winds of the globe converge at the crossing points to witness “a once in a lifetime experience". Dinner and Overnight Tented Camp/ Lodge (FB) B/L/D
