Masai Mara and Serengeti Combo

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.

Last morning in the bush, transfer to the airstrip on time for the flight to Kilimanjaro airport (JRO). Time at leisure until your onward flight, or contact us to extend your trip with a stay in Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire or Ruaha, a hop to Rwanda to view the gorillas, or a short flight to Zanzibar for a few days on the beach.
