NAIROBI TO NAIROBI

We travel along the base of the Great Rift Valley to the animal wonderland of the Masai Mara game reserve found in South Western Kenya on the Kenya-Tanzania border. It is destination to thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle in the spectacular annual migration. It is also home to the big five, abundant bird and wildlife and the Masai – the semi nomadic people whose culture and ways have changed little over the centuries. Our tented camp for two nights is nestled on the border of the reserve, a stone throw away for the gate into the reserve. Days are spent searching for the big five, whilst nights are spent around the campfire with the sounds of the bush as our companions.

This trip begins in Nairobi, Kenya and travels to Masai Mara National Reserve before ending in Nairobi, Kenya.

This trip departs from Nairobi early in the morning.  Should you wish to explore Nairobi, an earlier arrival should be planned and accommodation booked.

DAY 1:  Nairobi to Masai Mara (D)

Leaving the hustle and bustle of Nairobi we climb the escarpment to our first stop, a viewpoint overlooking the spectacular Great Rift Valley.  Descending into the Rift Valley, we enter Masai land where these habitual pastoralists are often seen tending their cattle from the side of the road.  We pass through the town of Narok, before arriving at our campsite, Acacia Camp (a stone’s throw away from the reserve gate) in time to enjoy sunset over the Masai Mara.

DAY 2:  Masai Mara (B / L / D)

We spend the day driving through nature as it was intended to be - huge plains, rolling hills and an abundance of game matched no where else on earth.  We keep an eye open for the Big 5 - elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion & leopard.  If travelling between July and October, we may get to witness the impressive herds of over 1 million wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s Gazelles in their Annual Migration.  Sitting around the camp fire, watching the sun set is the perfect way to finish a day’s game viewing in this “Garden of Eden.”

DAY 3:  Masai Mara to Nairobi (B)

We travel north through the Masai Mara looking for the game that has eluded us.  After our game drive, we leave the Mara to reach Nairobi in the late afternoon.  Here we’ll part ways after having had a brief encounter with amazing Africa.
