Days. DAY
1, 2 AND 3
We shall drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Park stopping for
a picnic lunch on the way. We shall arrive in time for an evening game
drive and some sight seeing before retiring for the night.
The wild life is far from confined within the reserve. The Thompson's
and Gant's gazelle, topi, eland and many more species of the plain's game
offer a rich choice of food for the dominant predators: the lion, leopard
and cheetah which hunt in this pristine wilderness
In the Mara river be sure to catch the hippo or the seemingly drowsy crocodile
waiting with subtle cunning for prey at which to strike at with lightning
swiftness.
Ever heard of the great march of the wildebeest. It is estimated that
more than half a million wildebeest enter the Mara and are joined by another
100,000 from the east of Mara, trekking to the Kenyan border. There is
nowhere on earth to compare this wildlife marvel. Driving in the midst
of this herds is an unimaginable experience.
The next two days will be spent game viewing and sight seeing in this
natural wonderland.
All meals will be served from the accommodation area.
