This customizable journey is a short flying safari to Kenya’s gem – the Masai Mara – a wonderful wildlife haven renowned for high predator population and the incredible wildebeest migration (August-November). As the Kenya side of the immense Serengeti ecosystem, it is one of the only places in the world where it is still possible to see vast herds of grazing animals. Attracted by those huge herds, there are the predators – lion, leopard, cheetah, as well as a variety of birds. Hippos and crocodiles can be seen sunning themselves on the banks of the River Mara.

This is an independent program – you will be hosted by your chosen lodge or camp. Any number of nights can be arranged and there are numerous lodge/camp choices. This itinerary is perfect to combine with any of our East Africa adventures or Indian Ocean Islands and beaches.
