THE GREAT MIGRATION SAFARI.

Rise early and depart Wildebeest Eco Camp after breakfast. Your private safari vehicle will track west through the Kenyan countryside and into the Masai Mara. Drink in the changing scenery as you leave the urban sprawl of Nairobi and pass through agricultural lands.

You pass through the wonder of the Great African Rift Valley on your journey. The majesty of the landscape is a fitting start to your African safari. Your guide knows the best photo opportunities and will stop in the right place.

You will Arrive in the Masai Mara National Reserve in time for lunch.As you take your first foray into the iconic national reserve, you’ll go straight to your chosen accommodation, with ample chance to spot animals such as:

Giraffes
Elephants
Lions
Zebras
And other famed creatures of the Masai Mara.

The task of the afternoon is to find the wildebeest migration. Your expert Kenyan safari guide will know which areas of the park are likely to have the wildebeest, zebra, elands, and other hooved animals that join in the movements.

Following your first adventure into the Masai Mara, return to your camp, lodge, or hotel for dinner. You’ll have chance to appreciate the Mara at night, with various viewing decks and galleries available, depending on which accommodation you choose.

Included in your first night in Masai Mara is:
*Accommodation at your camp or lodge
*Overnight stay inside Masai Mara National Reserve
*Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
*Drinking water, other drinks are extra

Rise early to catch the early sunlight out on the plains. Nocturnal animals go to sleep and hand over to the day shift. Taking advantage of the cool air, herbivores graze and predators stalk.

Your safari will track the known locations of the herds of Wildebeest that range over the park. The animals don’t move as one solid pack so there are chances to see them across different regions, sometimes grazing, other times striding purposely across the Masai Mara.

Each experience of the wildebeest migration will be different, but you’re highly likely to find the migrating packs. Life continues across the grasses, migration or no. You’ll have chance to spot over 400 species of bird during your safari tour, plus plentiful animals, even if the wildebeest aren’t around on your first full day.

Lunch will be served picnic style whilst out on your game drive. Feast surrounded by nature with animals in close proximity. Drink in the surroundings as you stop moving for a little while.

Use the afternoon to continue your exploration. Stick with the wildebeest herds you’ve found or venture on in search of other groupings. With your safari tour guide only working with you, the choice is your where to go and what do.

Dinner is back at your camp or lodge, where you rest up after a long day out on the plains.

For your first complete day on Masai Mara safari, included is:
*Accommodation at your camp or lodge
*Overnight stay inside Masai Mara National Reserve

Another morning out on the plains will see you track down herds of wildebeest and the other animals that take part in the migration. The day starts with breakfast at your camp or lodge before launching your day’s adventure.

With such an abundance of prey around, the chances of you seeing big cats such as:

Lions
Leopards
Cheetahs
Stalk and attack animals are high. Your expert Kenyan safari guide knows what to look for when a pride is ready to attack and will aim to show you the circle of life in motion.

Lunch will be served as a picnic, allowing you all the time possible out in the park. By staying out on the savannah, you give yourself chance to explore deeper into the landscape, not being tied into being too close to your camp or lodge.

Continue your afternoon’s exploration with the herds you found in the morning or look for other groups of animals to observe and marvel at. Plenty of other famous African safari fauna will be around with there being food aplenty after the rains have brought new life to the lands.

Watch the sun go down and the sky turn glorious shades of orange, red, and purple. Return to your accommodation for dinner before turning in for a good night’s rest, ready for more Masai Mara time the following day.

As you time exploring the Masai Mara comes to an end, spend your last complete day following the migrating wildebeest. Following breakfast, you’ll get in your safari vehicle and either go towards the same herds as the day before or choose to find new adventures and new crowds of animals.

Each day on safari is different. Even going to the same herd of wildebeest or zebra will present you new experiences. Some days will be spent grazing, other actively moving across the landscape, other still dodging predators. Your safari guide will be on hand to explain behaviors and name species as you go.

Following your next picnic lunch, you’re invited to visit a village of the Masai people. Here, you’ll be greeted with a traditional song and dance before being offered a tour around the village. Educate yourself on their customs and lifestyle and take the opportunity to go into a village home.

A usually nomadic people, the Masai villages are a unique culture that have thrived in this landscape for generations. They can offer you insight into live in this environment. As an optional extra on your safari there’s an additional fee of $30 to visit the village.
