There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles, and over 400 bird species recorded on the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

Day 4: Explore Maasai Mara

Full-day game drives depart at 7.00 am, with your 4×4 fully equipped to cross the Mara plains in search of game. At 1800 meters above sea level it can get cold before the sun rises fully, so we provide blankets and hot water bottles to keep you warm.

By midday, it can become very hot indeed and sun-block lotion and hats are advised. Lunch is served under the shade of an Acacia tree or overlooking the snorting hippos which wallow in the Mara River. As the afternoon draws to a close and the temperature cools, the shadows lengthen and the Bush changes once more. Evening sightings of rhinos are not uncommon on the way back to camp.

Even a bad day is a good day in the Mara since undoubtedly you will have encountered vistas, flora, and fauna new to you. Each can be revisited in the memory as you sink into your welcoming hot tub back at your tent. A full day of safari Lunch in the heart of the Masai Mara Return for a soak in your hot tub.

Day 5: Explore Maasai Mara

If you start first thing in the morning, you are likely to find the Mara at its most active. With the sun rising at around 6.00 am, this means an early start to your day. The reward is likely to be the sight of predators who avoid the heat: additional attractions include subtle light on the landscape and the joyous sounds of awakening birds, you return for a hearty breakfast at the camp after 9.00 am.

At around 4.30 pm, we like to explore our own Conservancy, as the cooling temperature brings out the predators. Lion kills are often fought over by packs of hyenas, jackals, and other scavengers. Yet this life
and death scenes are juxtaposed with the impossible beauties of the African sunset, as nature’s everchanging
palette streaks the sky with orange, red, and gold.

Anticipating sunset, your guide will have stopped to prepare sundowners, with a wide choice of drinks. Clasp your favorite, ease back in your chair, and watch light shift to dark, heat gives way to the chill.

Day 6: Mara to L victoria

After breakfast, depart for the Kenya/Tanzania border at Isabenia, and exit formalities before our Tanzania driver/guide take over. Continue to the shores of Lake Victoria, the largest freshwater Lake in Africa, and to your eco-friendly accommodation for the next two nights. Optional activities are available or simply relax and enjoy nature.

Crossing from the Mara to the Serengeti (or vice versa) is simple if you are a zebra or wildebeest. Millions of them do this trip every year during what is dubbed the great migration. Things are a little more difficult, though if you are a human on safari, as getting from Kenya’s Masai Mara to Tanzania’s Serengeti requires quite a roundabout journey. When you look at a map, it seems so simple. The Tanzania/Kenya border runs between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, it should be easy to plan a trip to cross by land.

Main Destination: Lake Victoria | Accommodation: Serenity on the Lake (Mid-range tented camp in Lake Victoria) Meals & Drinks: (All meals Included) Drinking Water (Other drinks not included)

Day 7: Lake Victoria to Serengeti

These full-day safaris are the best way to see the full range of what this magnificent park has to offer. Each excursion departs at around 6.30 am, with your 4×4 fully equipped to cross the Serengeti in search of game. The early mornings are relatively cool, but by midday, it can become very hot indeed and sunblock lotion and hats are advised. Lunch is served under the shade of an Acacia tree as you take a break from scanning the horizons One of nature’s great occasions is the annual crossing of the Mara river by migrating wildebeest.

You can be sure of witnessing this stupendous natural event. Yet it is often in the lesser-known corners of the bush that we spot the highlights of your visit, such as a kill, amorous liaison, or lesser-known creature. A full day on safari gives you every chance of such unforgettable encounters. A full day on safari with a wealth of flora and fauna to discover. Lunch in the heart of the Serengeti. Return around 5.00 pm.

Day 8: Explore Serengeti

If you start first thing in the morning, you will find the Serengeti at its most active. This is when Africa can reveal its cool side, so you should wrap up warm, we aim to be on the road before the sun rises at around 6.00 am. Our pop-up 4 by 4 brings you as close as possible to the wildlife, just when the action is likely to be most exciting. Few predators hunt during the heat of the day, so the early morning is the best time to observe the thrill of the chase. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape.

Heading into the bush for an evening game drive has a level of excitement and character all its own, as predators begin their nightly search for prey. As the day cools and the sky is streaked by red, gold, and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high-pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill. At a suitable vantage point, your guide will pause, allowing you to enjoy a sundowner in blissful comfort.

Day 9: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Depart after your morning breakfast with your picnic lunch boxes via the Olduvai gorge where it is believed the cradle of mankind began. Thereafter transferred to Ngorongoro Crater which is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World’, a visit to the crater is the main drawcard for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction.

Within the crater rim, large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Just outside the crater’s ridge, tall Masaai herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centries

Day 10: Ngorongoro to Amboseli

Descend to the rim of the crater for your game viewing. Depart after your game for Amboseli via Arusha. Amboseli National Park is famous for its big game – elephants, lions, and cheetahs are the main attractions – and for its great scenery and beauty. Amboseli embodies five main wildlife habitats, plus a generally dry lakebed – Lake Amboseli. These are open plains; extensive stands of yellow-barked acacia woodland; rocky, lava strewed thorn-bush country; swamps and marshes; and at the western end of the reserve, above Namanga, the massif of Ol Doinyo Orok rising to over 2,760m (8.300ft) and still for the most part zoologically unexplored.

You will have two game drives scheduled for this day.

The swamps are good places to catch the elephant as they bathe in the mud. There is a wealth and diversity of bird species to see as well.

Ensure your camera has a liberal memory card since Africa has a few better blends of untamed life and landscape. The Royal Court of Kilimanjaro is best known for its views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and its expansive crowds of free-wandering elephants. You can also visit Maasai Manyatta Village where you can take in more about Africa’s most renowned tribal society. Later in the day, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
