One of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya is the Masai Mara, home to migrant birds, about 57 different species of birds of prey and wildlife in abundance. On arrival, one is immediately struck by the large herds of elephant, shuffling about almost the grasslands. Due to the prolific amount of game, it is not surprising that lion, cheetah and leopard find an ongoing source of food here. Within the Mara River, hippo wallow.

 

However, by far the most spectacular sight in the Mara, is the massive migration of animals to new grazing pastures each year. Between July and August each year, literally millions of wildebeest, often aptly termed the "clowns of the African wildlife", head in their droves from the Serengeti in search of fresh grasslands further north towards the Masai Mara in Kenya. The best place from which to view the mass migration is from the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

CAMPING SAFARIS.

These are adventure-oriented safaris where one enjoys; Nature experience, wildlife, culture and scenery.

 

The safaris are basic and NOT luxury; we carry the camping equipment with us on safari and set up the camps in designated areas within the national parks. Most of the campsites do not have any facilities; some have latrines and cold showers, while others have none.

 

We provide tents for 2 people and a small mattress to use. Each client must bring along a sleeping bag for use during the safari. In Masai Mara clients are privileged to use our big tents with small beds but in other National Park / Reserves we use small tents, Igloo or “A” frame tents with mattress only.

 

English is the official language used on safari.

 

During the camping safari you are welcome to participate in the activities at the campsite but we have a cook who prepares the meals and helps to set up tents and also takes care of the camp when you and driver go for game drives. Game drives are provided early in the morning and late afternoon and will depend on the itinerary.

 

The food we provide is prepared at the campsite by our safari cook in the open. We provide bottled water for washing vegetables and fruit for your safety. We must be advised in advance if you are vegetarian or if you have special dietary requirements. You must bring bottled water for your use on safari, as we do not provide any. No water is available at the campsite for sale and must be bought in Nairobi or any other town before departure of safari.

 

While our departure from Nairobi is between 08h00 and 08h30, we can be delayed due to packing of food supplies or any other unforeseen circumstances but we will always endeavor to keep time.
