Spend a whole day exploring Samburu Reserve and its diverse wildlife. The reserve is rich in wildlife and is famous for its abundance of rare northern specialist species such as the Grevy Zebra, Somali Ostrich, Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, and the Beisa Oryx, also referred to as the Samburu Special. The reserve is also popular for its population of at least 900 elephants. Large predators such as the lion, leopard, and cheetah are important attractions as well.

Proceed to the Maasai Mara National Reserve with lunch in Narok town. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains, famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest migration. It is home to the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino.

On arrival, proceed for an evening game drive, tracking various animal species and birds with your driver-guide.

After breakfast, depart with picnic lunch boxes for a full-day game viewing in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. A Masai Mara safari is an unmissable highlight of any holiday in Kenya. There are breathtaking panoramas in every direction, a vast range of wildlife, including the Big Five, and a rich cultural heritage to explore. Kenya's Masai Mara is, without a doubt, one of the greatest safari destinations in Africa.

Between July and October, things get busy during the Great Migration. Millions of zebra and wildebeest make the perilous crossing across the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory. In their wake comes a veritable horde of predators, including lion and leopard.

Your guide will make sure that you get the best photographic opportunities while also enriching you with the different amazing cultural practices of the local communities of Maasai people.

Have dinner and stay the night at Miti Mingi Eco Camp.

In the early morning, go on a short game drive in the park. Then depart from the Masai Mara region for Nairobi with lunch en route.

Arrive in the evening with a drop-off at the airport and bid farewell to your guide with a promise to join the team on another adventure.
