3 DAYS KENYA MASAI MARA PRIVATE SAFARI
Overview;
Masai Mara is a top wildlife reserve in southwestern Kenya, contiguous with the Tanzania Serengeti National Park. It is renowned for its abundant wildlife such as the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant & Buffalo), and its diverse flora and fauna ecosystem. The term "Big Five" has nothing to do with the size of the animals rather, it was the difficulty in hunting them down "Hunting and poaching of wildlife is prohibited in all parks and reserves of Kenya". Masai Mara is also part of the larger Serengeti ecosystem which holds the largest annual wildebeest migration involving millions of Wildebeest and zebras which cross the Mara River from Serengeti National Park (Tanzania) to Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) in search of greener pasture. The Annual migration takes place during the month of June to September.
This private Masai Mara Kenya safari involves guests traveling on a pop-top 4WD Landcruiser or Tour van fitted with Long-range high-frequency radios, plug-in sockets, a first aid kit, safari guide books, and a portable fridge. Guests will not be sharing the Landcruiser/ Tour Van with other travelers, thus offering privacy and an intimate wild safari experience. The trip includes a road trip (Flight Option Available), with a brief stopover at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint as well as driving along the scenic valley, Game drive Safari for a wildlife viewing experience, extra activity options at Masai Mara such as visiting the Maasai Village for a cultural experience or Hot Air Baloon safari gliding above the savannah, among others...
