MAASAI MARA FLYING PACKAGE

MAASAI MARA FLYING PACKAGE
3D.2N – 4.5*

Day 1           NAIROBI – MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

Transfer from the Nairobi City Centre to Wilson Airport where you will board your flight to Maasai Mara National Reserve (1000/1045hrs)

The jewel in Africa’s crown, Maasai Mara is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife. Her 320 square kilometers of open savanna, woodlands and tree-lined rivers creates an eco-system, which supports huge numbers of bird and mammal species. The western border of the park is the spectacular Siria Escarpment, and together with the acacia dotted plains, creates scenery of stunning beauty. Lion are found in abundance throughout the park, as are elephant, giraffe, a variety of gazelle species and zebra. Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and, if lucky, you may also find rhino. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara, and patience is often rewarded with unique sightings: a pride of lion stalking their prey; a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree; male wildebeest sparring to attract females into their harem; or even a herd of elephant protecting their young from opportunistic predators. The annual wildebeest migration traditionally is present in the Mara from July-September and at this time nature’s dramas unfold before your very eyes at every turn. As well as wildlife, the Maasai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the borders of the park - morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing matters of the day.

On arrival at the airstrip, met by an Ilkelani Camp www.ilkeliani.com Driver/guide and transferred to camp.
