:: CAMPING SAFARIS IN KENYA,
BUDGET ADVENTURE SAFARIS
3
DAYS MASAI MARA
Day 1: Nairobi/ Masai Mara
We will pick you from your hotel after breakfast;
thereafter depart for Masai Mara game reserve stopping
at the view point of the Great Rift Valley and at
Narok town for lunch. Arrive in time for a late afternoon
or early evening game drive in this park that is essentially
the northern extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti
national park as an artificial border separates the
two. This park animal concentration is second to none
and the big five can be spotted here. The Mara’s
landscape is scenic savannah grassland on rolling
hills which enables the reserve to attract sufficient
rainfall to maintain and support a large population
of herbivores, together with the predators that follow.
Proceed to the campsite for dinner and overnight.
Day
2: Masai Mara
After breakfast have a full day of game viewing with
a picnic lunch at the Hippo pool where you will have
a good opportunity of spotting Hippos and crocodiles
basking in the sun at a close distance. Mara is renowned
for its great herds of plains game and virtually every
type of wildlife to be found in Kenya. This is also
where the annual migration of close 800,000 zebras
and wild beast takes place between the two parks in
early July to September. The animals’ move as
a great mass across the savannah in a follow the leader
fashion, they follow the rains and when they arrive
from Serengeti there is new succulent grass. They
return to Serengeti when the grass begins to whither
and when rains are over. Return to the campsite in
time for dinner and overnight.
Day
3: Masai Mara/ Nairobi
Have an early breakfast followed by your final game
tracking with your guide, in this park that is rich
in wildlife on your way back to Nairobi. You will be
arriving here in late afternoon or early evening, with
full of good memories of your trip as you will have
seen the best of Kenya.
