We leave Nairobi early in the morning and head out to Masai Mara With several stops on the way like at the great rift valley view point for great scenery. We arrive in Mara in time for lunch. Later we head out for our 1st game drive. Throughout this tour, the tented camps This area offers some of the best predator photography in the whole of Africa with the large numbers of Lions, Cheetahs and Leopards. We should arrive on the Mara in time to take an afternoon safari.
We will spend 2 days exploring sprawling plains of the Masai Mara, with its abundance of large mammals and diverse bird life. Our daily routine here will start with a morning safari, during which breakfasts are taken on the plains, usually under the shade of a flat-topped acacia, whilst watching the herds and often in the company of a Topi, the Mara’s most diligent predator spotter, perched up on a termite mound. We have the option to either have full and complete days out in the field when both breakfast and lunch can be served out on the Savannah or we can return to camp for lunch. Big cats are a very prominent feature of the Masai Mara and also include Cheetahs and Leopards, both of which are fairly straightforward to find here. We are definitely at 'Predator Central' here and there can be few, if any wildlife spectacles anywhere in the world that can rival the tension, drama and emotion of a Mara crossing. As many as a million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra attempt this epic journey each year. Watching as thousands of wildebeest and zebra gather at a crossing point you can almost feel the pressure build on the animals at the front as they consider the right time to attempt to cross the dangerous waters of the crocodile-infested Mara River. It is, however, a time of plenty for the gigantic Nile Crocodiles that live in the river and lie in wait as hundreds of thousands of animals head north from the Serengeti Plains to feed on the lush Mara grasslands. The foaming waters, noise and drama of a Mara crossing has to be experienced to be believed and offers dramatic action photo opportunities.
