Is the Masai Mara and Serengeti Combo for Me?

A combination safari including the Masai Mara (Kenya) and the Serengeti (Tanzania) is ideal if you plan on seeing the Great Migration, travelling between mid July to October, when the herds are typically within the area. The migrating herds are constantly moving in search of greener pasture, and their location is dependent on the weather patterns. At this time of the year, it is not uncommon to see the river crossings, from one side to the other side of the Mara River. The area is excellent for game viewing all year long, with loads of predators, it simply becomes grandiose when the thousands of zebras and wildebeest are also traversing the plain.

Your 7-Day Itinerary

You arrive at Jomo Kenyatta airport and will be transferred by road to Wilson airport. Depending on your time of arrival, you might need a pre-night in Nairobi.

Arrive at the Mara airstrip, where you are met by the lodge and transfer directly to Rekero. Your 3x night stay includes all your meals, and 2 game drive per day, talk to your safari guide to plan your days.

When it comes to witnessing the world-famous Great Migration, Rekero is in prime position. Overlooking the Talek River in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, the camp sits next to a main crossing point used by the wildebeest on their epic annual journey. If you are lucky, you might watch the herd make this perilous crossing without leaving the camp.

Witnessing a river crossing is like watching a live National Geographic film. Huge herds of wildebeest thunder across the river, plunging from the banks into the water. Crocodile lie in wait. Billowing dust, thudding hooves and a chorus of grunts fill the air as the animals cross in one of the most dramatic migration events in Africa.

Besides the herds, the Masai Mara has plenty of predators that prowl these plains. It’s no coincidence that many wildlife documentaries, including BBC’s Big Cat Diary and Disney’s African Cats, have been filmed here. There is a high concentration of lions — including a resident Rekero pride — plus cheetahs and leopards.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for the flights to the North of the Serengeti (there are 2 flights and a bus transfer for the border crossing included).

You will arrive at Kogatende airstrip and met by the camp safari guide who will transfer you into camp, via a meandering game drive. Your 3 nights at Olakira include your meals, selected beverages and shared game drives. Olakira Migration Camp follows the migration throughout the year, offering the closest possible view of the action. When the herds are on the move, the air is full of grunting, thudding hooves and billowing dust.

At night, you can enjoy the most wonderful stargazing in your tent, a portion of the tent boasts a 270°-view from beneath a net, offering you the best of the outdoors while remaining indoors. Your bed will be rolled out into the meshed area to spend the night with the stars glittering above while dreaming about the day’s adventures. It truly is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Discover Africa was my first time using a travel agent. I was a bit nervous hiring a company online whom I’d never heard of, and then sending thousands of dollars over to. All I could hope for was that there was someone waiting for us when we showed up at the airport.

I had a ton of confidence immediately though as Adelle (our agent) answered all of my questions, updated our itinerary with new changes, and gave great recommendations for activities – as well as incorporating our own itinerary for a private Sheldrick Trust viewing. She was super helpful leading up to our trip. Her true value really showed when we got there, though. She was easy to reach when we had questions and made adjustments in the moment for us.

I got sick 3 days in and had to stay in the hospital for a few days, causing us to miss an entire part of our itinerary and two flights. Adele jumped into action with her local rep and made sure that we were taken care of, that our flights were completely rebooked (and we paid no extra money), and even got us a refund from the accommodation we were supposed to stay in! It was absolutely amazing. The safari we were supposed to go to also got flooded so our accommodation got moved.

It was a perfectly seamless transition for us, even though I imagine it was quite a bit of chaos behind the scenes. We got upgraded to a nicer camp and had transportation ready and waiting at each and every step.

I would recommend Discover Africa to every single person considering a trip to Africa. We for sure wouldn’t have been able to do all ourselves!
