8 Day Wonders of Kenya and Tanzania Wildlife Luxury Safari

Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara game reserve

1. Masai Mara National Reserve
   8h · Admission ticket included
   You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve.
   It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive.
   Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge.

Day 2: Masai Mara Full Day Game Drive

1. Masai Mara National Reserve
   8h · Admission ticket included
   After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is also one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
   For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds.

After attending, a short lecture describing the archaeological digs and geology of the gorge, you’ll have time to visit the small museum.

This 6,900sq miles (18,000sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, jackal, monkey, baboon and African hare also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

The crater spreads for 102 sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
