LKC 011: Kenya wildlife camping Maasai Mara / Lake Nakuru / Samburu ( 11 days)
Day 1: Nairobi / Masai Mara
After breakfast, we will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel and thereafter depart for Maasai Mara Game Reserve via the view point of the Great Rift Valley, lunch enroute. Arrive in time for an evening game drive in this pristine, unquelled ‘big game country’
Dinner and Overnight at a Maasai Mara Campsite
Day 2: Maasai Mara
This will be a day of tracking game with your guide, after an early breakfast. The Mara’s landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, which enables the reserve to attract rainfall to maintain and support a large population of herbivores, together with the predators that follow. Elephant, lion, buffalo can be seen with relative ease though luck is a necessary factor for spotting rhino and leopard that complete the big five as the two animals are very timid and sparsely numbered.
Plains game like wildbeest, zebra and Maasai abound as well as hippos and a wide variety of antelopes including Impala, dik dik, hartebeest. Grant’s gazelle and Thompson’s gazelle among others.
We will cater for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool. In the evening, return to the lodge/campsite.
Lunch, Dinner and Overnight at a Maasai Mara Campsite
Day 3: Maasai Mara
After breakfast, another morning of tracking game with your guide in this reserve which borders Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park and is the annual seasonal scene of the migration of close to 800,000 zebra and wildbeest that occurs between the two parks. Lunch at the lodge or campsite. In the afternoon there is a choice between a game drive and a nature walk escorted by our armed nomadic lifestyle; the Maasai are famous for their braverly, as they have co-existed with the animals over the years.
