Great Migration Safari In Kenya

Nairobi – Masai Mara Game Reserve (Approximately 5 – 6 hrs)

0730am: Your epic Kenya safari holiday begins with a pickup at your Nairobi hotel / Nairobi airport.

Start off the journey to the Masai Mara Game reserve, one of Kenya’s finest wildlife safari destination as we navigate through the Great Rift Valley floor, making stops along the way to refresh and admire the scenic Kenya landscape features of the escarpment.

The plan is usually to check in and get orientation followed by some lunch. We’ll then ready ourselves for the afternoon safari, returning to your Masai Mara safari lodge/ tented safari camp a few minutes after sunset where a lovely dinner and overnight awaits.

These will be full days on safari, a journey that will see us navigate deep in the Mara Reserve. The main goal being to witness the drama face to face as the lions, stalking leopards, solitary cheetahs and packs of hyenas take on these migrating wildebeests and zebras among other mammals.

Since you are on a private Kenya safari, your game drive timings are flexible, useful if you are travelling with children, or are on your African honeymoon safari. You may also choose to have a full day game drive [one for the whole day] with a packed picnic lunch at no extra cost, maximizing our time in the park.

Our plan is to get you in spots well positioned to witness rich game viewing as the migration crossing happens. All nights will be spent at your camp/lodge in the heart of Masai Mara and you’ll get to enjoy all the hotel amenities that come with the safari package.

The area hosts all the Big 5 species and is full of activities which you can take part in. You may want to add a Masai Village visit or a Hot air balloon safari ride into your tour package [Optional activities at additional cost - please enquire with us]
