Driving can be tough especially away from the major towns where the roads are all murram as opposed to paved. This trip will bring you to the best wildlife areas with ease as we will be flying between some areas as opposed to driving all through between the wildlife areas. You can see some of the planes that we use on these trips. They range from two (2) seater planes to 35+ people carrying planes. Some of the great memories of visiting a new place are the scenery on the ground and the people we meet during our drives. The small frontier shopping towns, the kids going or coming from schools, the women carrying their shopping baskets on their back to the men sitting in small groups talking.

MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE

The Masai Mara National Reserve is probably the most famous and most visited Reserve in Kenya. It offers breathtaking views (as seen in the film “Out of Africa”, much of which was filmed here), an extraordinary density of animals including “the Big Five” (lions, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros) and may varieties of plains game. An impressive feature is the annual migration of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles from the plains of the Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara’s grasslands from late June, tracked by predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena, and circled by vultures as their journey unfolds. Their dramatic river crossings are a reality for tourists visiting in early July-August. Apart from the seasonal migration, game viewing is excellent year round. Game includes elephant, black rhino, buffalo, plains zebra, hartebeest and big cats. The rivers are home to hippo and crocodiles. 452 species, 53 of which are raptors.
