Summary
Every year, the wildebeest and other plains herds travel a circular route around the East African savannahs, following the rains to find the best grazing. In late June into July, the herds are moving into the northern Serengeti in Tanzania, then towards the end of July and through August, they move north up into the Maasai Mara. Throughout their journey there are many dangers, including river crossings and predation. Where the herds go, predators tend to follow and we’ll be looking out for those species that rely on the annual influx of the herds, including Lion, Leopard and Cheetah.
We are also offering the option of extending your time in Kenya to include a visit to Ithumba Camp in Tsavo East. This is a wonderful place to stay, particularly for anyone interested in African Elephant conservation and the reintegration of orphans into wild herds. Please refer to the tour itinerary for further details.
- Visit the world-famous Maasai Mara
- Abundant African mammals, including Blue Wildebeest
- Five nights at a comfortable camp in the Mara
- Lion, Leopard & Cheetah all possible
- Expertly guided by local Kenyan naturalists
Grading
This is a traditional African safari, and therefore suitable for anyone of any age, without any great necessity for extreme fitness. Walks will be over flat terrain and at a very leisurely pace, stopping frequently to look at natural history along the way. There will be a number of longer drives during the tour, which can be tiring.
