Wings over the Migration
A wildebeest and Lion Safari
Serengeti-Masai Mara
An 11 Day Marathon Safari across the Savannah plains:
Witness the thundering herds of wildebeest and zebra in search for food during the Great Migration
on an adventure that combines travel by airplane and stays in Africa's finest lodges and tented camps.
Day 1/Nairobi, Kenya
Arrive Nairobi and spend a night at Nairobi Serena Hotel
Day 2-3: Nairobi/Samburu Game Reserve
Fly
to the Samburu Game Reserve in Kenya's Northern Frontier District, arriving in time for lunch and a late-afternoon game
drive. Spend two days exploring the semi-arid Samburu. On morning and afternoon game drives, search for the famous "special
five" (reticulated giraffe, Grevy's zebra, beisa oryx, Somali ostrich, and the graceful, long necked gerenuk), found
only north of the equator. With luck, you may spot the elusive leopard stalking the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River. Larsen's Camp B L D
Days 4-5: Samburu/Masai Mara Game Reserve
Fly to the Masai Mara to your luxury permanent tented camp on
the banks of the Mara River. The Mara contains Kenya's richest concentrations of wildlife, supplemented for several months
of the year by the large herds. On game drives in the heart of this classic grassland savannah, view migrating herbivores
and their predators: lion, cheetah and leopard. Also visit a Maasai village and, perhaps, take an optional hot air balloon
excursion or flight to Lake Victoria. On your final evening here, dine on the banks of the Mara River. Olonana B L D

have for centuries.Ngorongoro Serena Lodge
