The Masai Mara is Kenya's most celebrated game park, it offers the possibility of seeing "the big five" and many other species of game. The Mara reserve is 1510 sq km of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers. This is where the great wildebeest migration is a spectacle to behold for any would be visitor to Kenya mainly in July and August of each year. Nonetheless, Mara offers good game viewing all year round and exceptional lodges.

Day 1 - Masai Mara
Departing our office in the early morning we drive down the escarpment via the floor of the Great Rift Valley towards Narok. We stop for lunch at the lodge (or luxury tented camp) followed by an afternoon game drive to experience the Mara Magic, returning for a sun downer and dinner in the evening.

Day 2 - Nairobi
Early morning sunrise game drive followed by breakfast before returning to Nairobi in time for lunch.

The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

Balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains and the wildlife after which you come back down for a beautiful champagne breakfast and these trips safari can be arranged at our office upon booking.
