Kenya

Great Migration

When the herds cross from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara, we put you in a private conservancy camp with a guide who knows which crossing point to sit at, and the patience to wait for it.

Length
Four to seven nights
When to go
Usually July to October, when the herds are in the Mara. River crossings never keep a timetable.
Price
On request, built around your dates and group

The shape of it

A shape,not a script

This is how it often runs. Every day of yours is rewritten around who is coming, what they love, and how much they want to do.

  1. Part 1. Arrival

    Nairobi, then a bush flight

    Met at the aircraft in Nairobi and flown to an airstrip in the Mara, where your guide and vehicle are waiting.

  2. Part 2. Every day

    Following the herds

    Long days out with a private guide and vehicle, breakfast in the bush, and back to camp only when you choose.

  3. Part 3. When they commit

    At the Mara River

    Waiting at the crossing points for the herds to go, with crocodiles in the water and predators on the banks. The waiting is part of it.

  4. Part 4. One dawn

    Over the plains by balloon

    A hot air balloon at sunrise over the herds, then breakfast laid out wherever it comes down.

  5. Part 5. Onward

    Laikipia, the coast, or the gorillas

    Rhino and walking safaris in Laikipia, a few days on the beach at Lamu, or a short hop to Rwanda for the gorillas.
