From Nairobi, you will head to the Masai Mara, Kenya’s most popular game park because it hosts an amazing concentration of wildlife including the big 5. Afterwards go to L. Nakuru National park famous for its huge flocks of flamingos. Later on you will go to Zanzibar via Nairobi to sunbathe and relax on the beaches
One of the most requested events in the migration is the arrival crossing of the Mara River that occurs around late July to August with parts of September and again on their return south, around the last two weeks of October through early November. These are the best times to track and see the annual wildebeest migration in Masai Mara. While the sight of masses of animals thundering across the open plains is spectacular, the Mara River crossing will take you through a range of emotions – awe, anticipation, heartache, inspiration, excitement and much more. The crossing is the subject of many documentary films from the BBC to the National Geographic, but even superb filmmaking cannot give you the experience of being on-site.
