Experience the awe of the Great Wildebeest Migration on this thrilling 3-day safari to Kenya’s famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Departing from Nairobi, the journey takes you straight into the wild savannahs of the Mara. Here, millions of wildebeest and zebras cross open plains in one of nature’s most incredible shows.
Your adventure begins early in the morning with a drive through the Great Rift Valley. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of escarpments, villages, and farmlands. Alternatively, you can take a short flight from Nairobi to the Mara airstrip for faster access to the reserve. Upon arrival, check in to your elegant safari lodge or luxury tented camp nestled close to the park.
Over the next two days, enjoy exciting game drives through the Masai Mara National Reserve. Your expert guide helps you track the Great Wildebeest Migration, where massive herds move across the Mara River. The crossing is dramatic, filled with heart-stopping moments as the animals face hungry crocodiles and strong currents. It’s one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife spectacles.
Besides the migration, you’ll also spot lions, elephants, leopards, giraffes, and many bird species. Every safari drive brings something new, from predators on the hunt to peaceful grazing herds. Moreover, your guide shares fascinating insights about animal behavior and the ecosystem that supports them.
