Join us on an 8-day safari to Maasai Mara, where you can witness the astonishing wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle migration, and the fierce predators that follow their trail. The Great Wildebeest Migration is the world’s largest animal migration, with over 2 million animals moving in a clockwise direction across the Serengeti (Tanzania) and Maasai Mara (Kenya) ecosystems each year. Our safari will take you straight into the heart of the action, particularly when the wildebeest cross the Mara River to reach more lush pastures. Beneath the river’s surface, crocodiles lie in wait as they are skilled ambush predators who approach their prey slowly underwater before making their move. This safari is a photographer’s dream come true, with opportunities to capture the action, reaction, and natural cycle of life and death.

For an additional cost of $450 per adult, you can embark on an optional Hot Air Balloon Safari on one of the mornings. During your safari, you have the opportunity to participate in various activities, such as bush dining, sundowner, horse riding safari, and bush walks. Depending on your preferences, we can help arrange these activities for you. Additionally, on one of the afternoons, you may choose to visit a Masai village at an additional cost, where you will be greeted with singing and dancing, an important part of their cultural tradition. This tour will also include a glimpse into their local homes and way of life. Your accommodation during the safari will be in a tented camp, where you will enjoy dinner and an overnight stay on a full-board basis.
