Over East Africa Safari"
(11 Days)
(Daily Departures)

Day 1:- On your arrival you are transferred to the Norfolk Hotel near the city center, and Nairobi's first, and thus most historically interesting hotel. This is where the early settlers came to stay and meet around the bar, and there are poignant reminders of Lord Delamere, the Markhams, Lord Cole, Finch Hatton and the Carberrys amongst others.
Overnight at the Norfolk Hotel. |

Day 4:- Breakfast at the club. Morning transfer to the airstrip for the Air Kenya flight to the Masai Mara. On arrival at the airstrip, met and transferred to Little Governors Camp. Afternoon game drive. The Masai Mara Reserve is one of Africa's best known wildlife areas, and is part of the Serengeti ecosystem. A land of undulating hills and rolling grasslands it supports a large animal population. Even a casual visitor is treated to the sight of lions in prides sometimes numbering more than thirty beasts with a handsome black-maned male in dominance; a cheetah at great speed runs down its prey; a Leopard in the lower branches with its kill.Another attraction of staying in Little Governor's is that it is situated away from most other camps and lodges, and game drives tend to avoid other parts of the reserve which can, at times, be relatively crowded. Dinner and overnight at Little Governors Camp or Il Moran* (* Surcharges may apply). |
|
Day 5:- Morning and afternoon game drives. In the Mara river there are crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks , and hippos playing in the water. Elephant, Cape buffalo, giraffe, Topi, gazelle are all in abundance, and during the months of July to September the great migration of wildebeest and zebras spill over from the Serengeti. T he sight of these beasts legging it across the Mara River, avoiding both the crocodiles in the river, and the predators harassing them from behind is amazing, and the topic of some of the most spectacular photography ever seen. All meals and overnight at Little Governors Camp or Il Moran* (* Surcharges may apply).

Day 7:- Morning drive to Gibbs Farm. Pay a visit to the IRAQW Tribespeople, and view their manyattas (homes) and lifestyle. After lunch you will continue onwards to the Ngorongoro Conservation area. "It is impossible to give a fair description of the size and beauty of the Crater, for there is nothing with which one can compare it. It is one of the Wonders of the World." This is how the Crater is described by Bernard Grzimek in his classic "Serengeti Shall Not Die". The area is given over to Wildlife Conservation and comprises 8300 square kilometers of which the Crater is 260 square kilometers, and consists of grasslands, swamps, forests, rivers, and even an arid area of shifting dunes. The Crater supports a year round resident population of varied wildlife , and as the game is concentrated into a relatively small area you are likely to see Lion, Elephant, Hyaena, Jackal, Cheetah, the very rare Black Rhino, primates and many more. The area is also home to the proud and colorful Masai tribe. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
