Day by Day

Day 2Nairobi - Masai Mara

This morning you will be met upon arrival and taken to Wilson Aerodrome for your light aircraft flight to the Masai Mara.

The rest of the day can be spent exploring the incredible area with some of the best game viewing in the whole of Africa all around you.

Day 3Masai Mara

At this time of year the game viewing in this area should be superb as the migration will be heading up into the Masai Mara from Tanzania. The sight should be spectacular especially if you are lucky enough to see a river crossing, and the number of wildebeest and zebra passing through also brings along many predators so lion & cheetah sightings should be frequent.

Day 4Masai Mara

You will have a full day game viewing in the Masai Mara where game will be plentiful with herds of buffalo, zebra and wildebeest and also frequent big cat sightings. There is also the chance to do a hot air balloon ride from here which is a spectacular way to see the game from above drifting over the plains at sunrise and finishing off with a champagne breakfast.
