Kenya’s prime game sanctuaries Special 5Nights/6Days


This tour takes you to three of Kenya’s game sanctuaries- with a different experience at each…


Day 1: Nairobi-Masai Mara
Drive to via the Great Rift Valley to arrive at Maasai Mara in time for lunch. Along the way we will have a distant view of Mt. Longonot, Mt. Margaret and the pyrethrum plantations. An afternoon game drive till dusk.


The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.


Dinner and overnight at Sarova Mara Tented Camp / Mara Sopa /Mara Simba Lodge.


Day 2: Maasai Mara
