Day 2 - Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve (265 km, 5 to 6 hours)

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.

Lunch is served in Narok town, before your head into the Masai Mara National Reserve for the first time. 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.

Day 3 - Full Day inside Masai Mara National Reserve

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.

  • 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.
