8 Days: Nairobi – Masai Mara – Mara Conservancies

Home » Tours & Safaris » The Great Migration Safari

Experience one of nature’s most spectacular spectacles, the Great Migration, in Kenya’s Masai Mara, all from the best vantage points and away from the crowds.

Begin with a night in Nairobi before flying into the world-famous Masai Mara National Park for morning and evening game drives. Thousands of wildebeest thunder across the plains and across rivers, creating not only an incredible sight but also an incredible sound. Your guides and trackers will take you into the reserve on a daily basis, positioning you at the best vantage points for the infamous river crossings and thrilling wildlife action.

You’ll then travel to the Mara Conservancies for more game viewing, as well as bush walks and night drives.
