Day-by-day Itinerary:

Day 1 | Arrive in Nairobi, Kenya

Arrive in Nairobi, Kenya, where your private transfer will take you to your hotel for a one-night stay. Later, you’ll meet Nadia Eckhardt and the rest of your group, marking the beginning of your unforgettable adventure.

Day 2 | Fly to Mara Mara

After breakfast check out of the hotel and meet your transfer to Wilson Airport for your flight to Mara Mara.  Here you will check into Governors Camp or similar for 3 nights.

Masai Mara National Reserve

One of Kenya’s undisputed natural highlights is the Masai Mara National Reserve, which sprawls across more than 1500 square kilometers of the country’s southwest. The park protects a phenomenal array of game, including elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo, as well as crocodile and hippopotamus in the Mara River. The birdlife is no less impressive, with over 450 resident bird species. However, the true highlight here is the Great Migration, recognized as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. To survive the dry months of July to September, some 1.7 million wildebeest, migrate from the parched plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Along with much smaller numbers of antelope, buffalo and zebra, they move to the more forgiving grasslands of the Masai Mara. In their wake come predators such as lion, hyena and cheetah, for whom these giant herds are an easy source of prey. 

Day 3 & 4 | Full Day Game Drives

Spend the next two days on exhilarating game drives, where you’ll have the chance to witness the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara. In the evenings, unwind at the camp, sharing stories with fellow travelers about the incredible wildlife encounters of the day.

Day 5  | Fly to the Serengeti

After breakfast check out of the camp and meet transportation to Migori Airstrip where you will fly to the Serengeti. Upon arrival you will check into Taasa Lodge or similar for 3 nights.

Seronera Region of Serengeti National Park

The Seronera region, in the central Serengeti, is set directly on the Great Migration route and offers excellent viewing of this incredible annual phenomenon, when countless wildebeest flood the area and move across the plains. While migratory game populations fluctuate seasonally, Seronera is still a wildlife hotspot at other times of the year, sheltering the Big Five, among many other species. A number of small campsites provide accommodation, and visitors can enjoy hot air balloon trips and walking safaris as well as guided game drives.

Formed by the collapse of a massive volcano millions of years ago, this vast caldera is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the rare black rhino.
