 Wildebeests Migration Safari - Masai Mara (6 Days 5 Nights Safari)   

 

Ideal time: Between 15th July to 31st October           

Tour Summary               

 This 6 Days Safari takes you through Amboseli National park, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, the great Savannah of Africa with plains extending as far as the eye can see and beaming with unimaginable wildlife. The Masai Mara migration Special is a safari that takes place between the month's of July through to September when this spectacular natural event occurs. Between July and September, the plains of Mara attract a million plus wildebeests along side hundreds of thousands of zebra and other animals with predators tugging along migrating from across the Serengeti plains in Tanzania. The rains between April and may have brought a lush of vegetation in these plains thus providing pasture to the millions of animals. A great natural spectacular for all to see!. Combined with safari to the Amboseli at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro (highest point in Africa) with large herds of Elephants and a safari to Lake Nakuru 'The pink lake' at the floor of the Great Rift Valley, this safari leaves great memories to be revered a long time to come.
