6 Days Migration Trail Safari Wildlife

Sumptuous breakfasts then we depart for a full day adventure with morning and afternoon game drives.The Masai still live as they did for centuries -interact with these nomadic people and experience their way of life as you learn about their customs and traditions.We are right in time for the greatest spectacle on earth; the eighth wonder of the world, the wildebeest migration. From July to October, the fields are awash with thousands of wildebeests that yearly migrate from the Serengeti National park in Tanzania to Masai Mara in search of pasture. They cross the Nile crocodile invested Mara River. Tens of them drawn in the raging waters, others are captured and killed by the giant crocodiles. The wildebeests are closely followed by Burchell’s zebras and impalas. Predators too in their hundreds also follow and lay in wait for those animals that become weak or incapacitated during the long journey for a kill. Be on the look-out for the big five that Maasai Mara is famous for. These include the lion, savannah (African) elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard and the black rhino. In the early 20th century, Kenya was a famous hunting destination. Killing any of the big five game one pride, a sense of class, a feeling of heroism. We may even be so lucky to witness a leopard or a cheetah sprint and make a kill! We return back to the lodge before dusk. OPTIONAL ACTIVITY: Balloon Safari over the Mara plains followed by a champagne breakfast. All meals and overnight at Keekorok Lodge LDBB.
