Day 3:Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast in your hotel you will depart from Nairobi to the famous Masai Mara, a journey of
approximately six or seven hours. This is one of the best game reserves in all of Africa and on the way
you'll stop in Loita Hills, a remote region that's home to the traditional Maasai people.
This is one of the
key places where the Maasai people still practice their traditional way of life, with little influence from
the western world. Make a stop at Tepesua Village, which is known for championing Maasai women’s
health and education. You’ll be welcomed by Maasai Warriors by way of traditional song and dance.
Meet your Maasai hosts and enjoy a fascinating talk, full of insights into this remarkable and ancient
culture.
Take a walk to the community village which was founded for widows who had lost their cows
due to drought, and can never remarry. The village offers support, safety and economic growth through
the ‘Tepesua Widows Income Project’. Here the women are engaged in making handicrafts and sewing
eco-friendly handbags, washable sanitary pads, and backpacks to sell to visiting travellers and locals.
Learn about village life and be shown around a traditional Maasai home, and their cattle enclosures.
Continue to the outskirts of the Masai Mara, where your permanent tented camp can be found.
Day 4: Masai Mara Game Reserve FuLl DAY
After breakfast you will proceed for a full day game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve. This is the
quintessential African experience and with sparse open plains, dramatic skies and some of the world's
most impressive animals, one you won't soon forget.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildebeest, lions,
leopards, antelope and giraffes, to name but a few. You will enjoy picnic lunches at the Mara River
returning back to the camp for a dinner and overnight.
Dinner and Overnight: Budget camp in mara
Day 5: MASAI MARA TO SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
Prepare for a long travel day as you head towards the border separating Kenya and Tanzania, then on to
the Serengeti National Park (approximately six hours) and enjoy a picnic lunch at the entrance to the
famous expanse. Continue to your campsite on your first Serengeti game drive, keeping an eye out for
the hoofed animals and predators that call this place home.
Tonight you'll have a true African safari
experience, camping in an unfenced site within the national park, right in the heart of the animal action.
Your leader will give you a full safety briefing once you arrive.
Day 6: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK Full DAY
Wake to another glorious day in the Serengeti. Start the day with an early morning game drive to search
for animals when they're at their most active, then return to the campsite for a relaxed brunch. Spend
the hottest part of the day relaxing in camp – don't stress, the animals will be doing the same – then
head off again in the afternoon for another drive through the park. Return to the campsite for dinner
and overnight.
Dinner and overnight at budget camp site.
Day 7: SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
Enjoy a final game drive through the Serengeti as you exit the park this morning. After lunch, you'll drive
to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. Ngorongoro is a World Heritage site, the highlight of which is the
Ngorongoro Crater, a gigantic volcanic caldera that you'll visit tomorrow in search of the Big Five.Dinner
and overnight at the campsite.
Day 8: NGORONGORO CRATER / ARUSHA
This morning you'll descend to the Ngoro Ngoro’s crater floor for a 4WD excursion. If all goes to plan,
you'll see some or maybe even all of the Big Five animals that reside here and better yet, the vehicle
have an open roof so you can really feel like a part of the action.
The animals here are less wary of
humans and vehicles and as a result it's easier to watch them from up close. Take in the spectacular
views from the rim of the crater as you make your way to the bottom, where animals roam the lakes,
rivers, woodlands and hills.
Keep an eye out for wildebeest, lion, zebra, cheetah, buffalo, gazelle and the
endangered black rhino, as well as the colorfully dressed Maasai people who often water their cattle at
the lake here. In the afternoon, you'll drive to Arusha and maybe enjoy an optional group dinner to
celebrate this trip and say farewell to your new friends.
Dinner and overnight at Camping site
