Is Migration River Crossings Safari with Governors’ Camps for Me?

This is a short and affordable option to experience a safari in the famous Masai Mara. The Great Migration is typically in the area between July and October, when you have a chance to see the huge herds, and possibility a river crossing if you are lucky. The herds movement is dependent on the weather and natural events, as the herds move in search of fresh pasture.

The safari can be booked on its own, or combined with a different area within Kenya, such as Amboseli, or Laikipia. It is also possible to combine with a gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda for example.

Your 4-Day Itinerary

Arrive at NBO airport, exit the terminal and meet with our driver. Road transfer to Wilson airport on time for the flight to the Masai Mara. Depending on your arrival flight you might require a pre night in Nairobi, please contact us for additional options.

Arrive in the Mara and meet with your safari guide, short road transfer to camp. Your 3 night stay at Governor's Il Moran include your meals, selected local beverages and two shared game drives per day. You can chat to your guide to set your days, usually the drives are early morning and later in the afternoon, times when it is best to view the local wildlife; it is also possible to go for the day with a packed breakfast. During the season (August-Sept), you will be in the right location to view the Great Migration, that is typically in this area, depending on the herds movement.

Situated in the southwest of Kenya, covering an area of 1,510 square km (583 square miles), the Masai Mara National Reserve is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife and endless plains. The reserve has an abundance of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, lion and cheetah, while leopards are frequently encountered, endangered black rhino hide in the dense thickets and large rafts of hippo and enormous crocodiles are found in the Mara River. The park is also home to over 450 bird species.

Using Discover Africa was a great decision. Their website had plenty of details and pictures to explain and show what they were offering. The various safaris listed had prices listed though they were from the previous year but it did give me a ballpark figure that allowed me to make a more informed decision. Also, when I finally did contact them about the trip, I got a timely reply and was set up to speak with Megan who would arrange the trip. She was very informative and listened to my requests regarding the trip (travel style, animals I wished to see). Fortunately, I was flexible with my dates and Megan was very good at coordinating my final date choice. Megan was very good at keeping me updated on my trip status and answered any questions I had before the trip (most communication was through email).

Considering what the final price was, in the end, I felt it was an excellent deal. All staff (driver-guide, lodge staff) were extremely friendly and helpful. Our guide was knowledgeable and experienced but fun as well. Being a single traveler was not a problem, and in the end, it worked out perfectly with the other 5 members of my group. And turns out the other 5 members were friendly, intelligent and fun as well, we got along very well.

FYI: I chose the 10-day safari going through Tanzania and Kenya
