Itinerary
The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomises Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large prides of lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential.
This is a group joining safari meaning you will be in a safari van with a maximum of 8 people. Each person will get a comfortable seat and enough room on the roof during the entire safari and game drives. You will be picked from your hotel in Nairobi at 0730hrs and drive to Masai Mara travel in a comfortable adapted mini-van/ Land cruiser with a pop-up roof for optimum scenic and wildlife viewing en-route to Masai Mara. The drive offers you an off-road experience, as well as a pleasant scenic ride through the Rift Valley. You are bound to marvel at the sceneries.
You will stop over at Narok for a well-deserved lunch before driving on to Masai Mara.
Upon arrival at the Mara, you will proceed to game drive at the spectacular Masai Mara game reserve. Everything about Mara during this season is incredible. The wildlife is abundant, and the vast grasslands ensure that animals are rarely out of sight, and the Birdlife is impressive, great herds of elephant browse among the rich tree-studded grasslands, along with an occasional black rhino. Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelle, topi, eland and many more species of plains game offer rich pickings for the dominant predators – lion, leopard and cheetah – that hunt in this pristine wilderness. In the Mara River, hippos submerge at the approach of a vehicle, only to surface seconds later to snort and grumble their displeasure. Seemingly drowsy crocodiles sunbathe on the riverbanks, mouths agape, waiting with subtle cunning for prey at which to strike with lightning swiftness.
As the sun sets you will return to the lodge for dinner, followed by stargazing and story-time around the fireplace. When you’re ready, one of the Maasai night guards – known as Askaris – will escort you back to your room
Awake to the magnificent ‘wake up call’ symphony of Masai Mara’s astonishing bird life. Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast before embarking on a full day safari in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Abundant wildlife on the savannah gives fantastic photo opportunities. The incredible backdrop of clear blues and the rolling Savannah will captivate you providing you with memories to last a lifetime. Catch the action as the predators hunt their prey and stalk the herds just like the lions and the cheetahs, capturing them with your lens and in your heart. Enjoy an exceptional wilderness for there is never a dull moment on the savannah.
Return to the lodge for dinner followed by relaxation at the as you tell of your experiences on the African wilderness.
Located in the Great Rift Valley surrounded by yellow acacia woodlands and bushy shrublands, the Lake Nakuru National Park was created to protect the Lake and its large flocks of Lesser Flamingo, which are drawn to the algae that flourish in the saline waters of this soda lake. The national park is inhabited by over 50 mammal species including hippo, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo and eland. Known as a bird watcher’s paradise, the park is home to over 450 bird species. Visitors can look forward to hiking through the scenic landscape, picnicking next to this magnificent lake, and spotting an array of wildlife on a game drive. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the beautiful Makalia Waterfall.
Wake at dawn in time for a final Morning Game Drive. Witness how the Savannah comes alive as the sun rises. Return for breakfast. After breakfast collect your things and say your goodbyes. Just like the wildebeest, the time has come to wander on. Leaving the Masai Mara after breakfast with picnic lunches and drive towards Nakuru, traversing the vast plains of Maasai land on the floor of Rift valley, keeping an eye out for herds of giraffe and gazelles as you head up the Mau escarpment.
You will switch vehicles to join another group headed to Nakuru.
Arrive Nakuru in the early evening where your driver will take you to your Hotel in Nakuru for dinner and overnight.
Wake at dawn, have breakfast before checking out with picnic lunches. Drive to Lake Nakuru National Park where you will continue with your game drive.
The lake park is home to one of the most remarkable wild bird population. You are guaranteed to see: White Rhinos, African Buffaloes, Rothschild Giraffes, Zebras, Impalas, Olive Baboons, Vervet Monkeys, Waterbucks, a variety of water birds (Yellow-billed Pelicans, Marabou Storks, Hammerkops, Fish Eagles, etc.)
After your picnic lunch, you will depart for Nairobi through the floor of the Great Rift Valley while stopping on the way for curios and to admire and marvel at the breath-taking views of the escarpment along the way. You will arrive Nairobi in the late afternoon where our driver will take you back to your Hotel or residence in Nairobi

Excellent
Seremara Safaris booked a wonderful 3-night safari at Basecamp and Leopard hill. Our guide Tonkei was amazing, we saw leopards, lions, hyenas, elephants, buffalo, hippos, and even a cheetah kill. The basecamp staff and Leopard hill staff were so friendly and kind. We felt so cared for throughout our stay, especially mealtimes.
