Day
01: Nairobi - Masai Mara
Picked
from your Hotel or JKIA and transferred to Wilson Airport for the scheduled flight
to the Masai Mara. The Masai Mara is the jewel of Kenya's game parks, located
in the northern section of the great Serengeti plains. The reserve is the home
of the "Big Five"
elephant, lion, leopard, buffallo, rhino as
well as cheetah, zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, hippo, impala, gazalle and numerous
other including hundreds of species of birds.
Your
accommodation for the next two nights will be at KICHWA TEMBO CAMP, one
of the Mara's luxury tented camps, allowing you to experience nights "in
the bush" with all comforts of
home.
Overlooking the endless game-filled plains of the Masai-Mara and shaded by dense
forest canopy, this oasis of Hemingway-style tents nestles below the Oloololo
Escarpment. Each luxurious tent affords sweeping views over the greatest grassland
system on earth, still under the guardianship of the pastoral Ilkareskeshe Masai
tride. Exciting game-drives and interpretive bush-walks with resident guides and
naturalists reveal the wonders of the Mara.
After checking in and enjoying
lunch you will have some time to relax and take a dip in the pool before again
meeting up with your private guide and departing on an afternoon game in search
of the big five. The low afternoon light is prefect for photographing the beautiful
rolling plains of the Masai Mara.
Dinner
and overnight at KICHWA TEMBO CAMP.
Day
02: Masai Mara
This morning you will be awakened before dawn and
after a cup of Tea or Coffee, you will set out at sunrise on an early morning
game drive. The Mara is magical in the morning, the birds are singing, the morning
air smells fresh and cool and the wildlife is just waking up to greet the day.
Zebra's 'rolic greet each other, a pair of jackels prance through the grass in
search of mice a rabbit, baboons chatter noisily and curious giraffe watch you
as nibble on their breakfast of acacia leaves. You may even upon a loin family
feeding on the last nights kill or a leopard snoozing in a tree.
After returning to the camp for a sumptuous buffet breakfast you will depart with
your driver guide on a mid-morning game drive this time venturing deeper into
the Mara. Don't forget to look for the "little five" -Thomson's gazelle,
jackel, African hare, vervet monkey and banded mongoose. These little animals
can be just as exciting and more fun to watch than the more popular larger animals.
You
will return to your camp for lunch and after some time to relax at the pool or
do some bird-watching from the verandah of your tent, you will depart on the afternoon
game drive. The plains are full of surprises - pride of lion with their playful
cubs, families of Ostrich parading over the plains etc. Return to camp early in
the evening for dinner and overnight at KICHWA TEMBO CAMP.
