Day 7& 8: MASAI MARA INTENSIVE SAFARI

Day 7: Depart Nairobi | View Point Stopover | Evening Game drive

This day, excitement builds as you depart Nairobi for the climax of your Kenyan adventure: safaris to & through the Masai Mara.

This reserve is undoubtedly the country's most precious wildlife sanctuary and sits among the most famed national parks on the continent.

Without wasting time, you will load your baggage into the truck and drive towards the famed Maasai Mara National Park. Over this six-hour drive, the landscapes will transform dramatically as you move through the Great Rift Valley and into the heart of the Maasai Warrior homeland.

The town of Narok will be the final stopover before you enter the farmland surrounding the Mara. Shortly after, you will pass through the park gates and drive towards your safari camp on the banks of the Talek River.

Check in for lunch and eventually a 3 pm - 6 pm game drive

Accommodation: EKA Hotel.

- Luxury safari lodge located in the center and migration corridor of Masai Mara NR.

Day 8: BALLOON SAFARIS | MASAI VILLAGE | EEVENING GAME DRIVE

- Dawn (6:00-9:00 AM): Hot Air Balloon (extra $505): Sunrise flight with champagne breakfast

- Visit Maasai Village (11:00 AM): Try jumping competitions with warriors

- Game Drive (3-6 pm): Catch predators returning from night hunts

One of the most romantic and luxurious ways to experience these vast and captivating plains is to sail above them in a hot air balloon.

Hot air balloons are based at your camp, and balloons depart nearly every morning.

Lifting off in the early morning light, the balloon drifts with the wind across these endless plains, dotted with herds of wildebeest and acacia trees below.

As the morning sky transforms around you, it will feel like you have been transported back to the ancient world of early safaris. The elegance of the experience is rounded off with a champagne breakfast in the bush before you return to the camp.

Begin with an early-morning start, and soon, you will be soaring above the plains, looking down on the herds from a hot air balloon. Sunrise paints the sky, and the landscape stretches for eternity with swathes of green dotted with herds in their great numbers.

From the sky, you can appreciate the migratory movements and the dramatic scale of the Mara. Touch down for your bush breakfast before embarking on a short stint of game drive en route to Masai Village.

Once you enter the Masai Homestead, freely interact with the petite, teenagers, adults, and the Aged. As opposed to the nature of a national reserve of staying put inside the tour vehicle, you can explore on foot, mingle and learn by asking questions, or listen to the planned educational presentations already available.

We will later move back to the hotel for lunch and relaxation at your pleasure for the rest of the day.

Photography Tip: The "golden hour" before sunset creates perfect lighting for big cat photos

DAY 9: MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE – WILDEBEEST ALONG THE MARA RIVER.

- Full-Day Migration Tour (with picnic lunch):

- July-Oct: Witness river crossings at the Mara River

- Nov-Feb: See giant herds on the plains

Over a million wildebeest and zebra every June and July make their famous Mara River crossing to swap the Serengeti for the Masai Mara.

From June to September, the Mara plains flood with this influx of herds. But this is a place of mammal abundance all year round, as not all wildebeest and zebra migrate.

Most big cats stay put and protect their territory while awaiting the bounty. Whenever you visit this famous reserve, you are guaranteed to see galloping herds of wildebeest, mass groups of zebra, and a wide variety of predators.

Today, you will go on a full-day game drive to seek out the parts of the Masai Mara where most animals congregate. On open grasslands, you will see a leopard out hunting as it hides in the grass before it strikes a Thomson's gazelle herd. Drive onwards until buffalo block the trail; you must wait for them to pass.

Next, you will see elephant bulls roaming freely in the trees and crashing against the branches as a baboon troop shouts. Move next to the Mara River to stop for a picnic with a prime view of the bathing hippos.

Continue across the plains to a lion pride, which rests with bloated bellies, and then to the iconic sight of the big herds as thousands of mammals graze together against a predatory fear.

One full-day game drive is a perfect way to see these incredible sights and begin to grasp just how big this landscape is.

Accommodation: Mara Serena Safari Lodge

- Luxury safari lodge located in the center and migration corridor of Masai Mara NR.

However, several airlines offer itineraries to Kenya, and their bookings are all available online for your convenience. Your discretion in choosing which to use is allowed.

Always ensure that you reconfirm the Flight.

Luggage & Packing

Checked bags are typically limited to a total dimension of 62 inches by adding length + width + height (example: 26"+26"+10" = 62”) and a maximum weight of 50 lbs (23kg).

Carry on, Luggage.

We urge you to pack the items you would be without if your checked bags were lost in your carry-on bag. Prescription medications, eyeglasses, a change of clothes, a mobile phone and charger, valuables (including jewelry and cash), a passport, keys, insurance cards, and local contact information are a few things to remember.

Additionally, we advise you to pack a change of clothing in your carry-on suitcase if your luggage is delayed or misplaced.

DESTINATION INFORMATION

Arrive On Time.

You should plan to check in at least three hours before the scheduled departure time for international flights and two hours prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights due to additional security checks.

Connecting Passengers.

Connecting passengers from other US locations should check their bags at their final destination. Some airlines do not permit the "interlining" of checked bags; each destination flight's luggage is checked separately.

Destination Landing and Eventual Departure.

Please finish all immigration procedures upon arrival and retrieve your bags. Check your voucher for detailed instructions if your program involves airport arrival shuttles, as they differ depending on the destination.

Transfer.

We kindly suggest that you give our representative 30 minutes extra time from the time of your booked transfer due to local traffic and other unavoidable situations.

Transfers to and from the airport are included. You shouldn't worry about being late for your tour because such potential delays are considered when booking transfers.

During Game Safaris.

Please be aware that there is an environmental prohibition on single-use plastic bags.

YOUR TOUR INFORMATION.

Expect to spend most of the time driving over roads that are often rough and bumpy in safari vehicles that are not air-conditioned.

Safari vehicles have high ground clearance and require agility to embark and disembark.

Tour journey in the Destination Country.

The number of participants on your trip may change as we accommodate visitors at various points along the schedule.

There are many early mornings. Only "bush toilets" are available during game drives.

Overland Sightseeing.

There is a required seat rotation policy on our Customized Tour Vehicles, which your Tour Manager will coordinate to ensure that travelers on tour-guided safaris have a positive and equitable experience.

Independent Activities.

The schedule might suggest things to do in your free time, but this is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any particular vendor.

Participation in such activities should only be decided upon voluntarily and carefully.

Souvenir Shopping.

Most tourists like to bring back at least one memento from their travels. Our Escorted itinerary has included a few shopping pit stops at suggested locations. These stops are intended to improve your experience by allowing you to inspect high-quality, locally-made goods that you might not be able to locate on your own.

Currency.

Before you leave your country, we advise that you get a small quantity of currency for the first country you'll be visiting. A smart strategy is to avoid carrying too much cash.
