Combining Kenya’s Masai Mara and the Serengeti in Tanzania is often recommended while traveling from July to October, especially if you wish to get the best chances to see the Great Migration and potential river crossings.
At this time of the year, the herds often travel back and forth, and cross the Mara river several times at different points while they look for fresh grass. To keep an affordable price point, this tour includes a bit of driving through the Serengeti and we have included a Ngorongoro Crater descent on the way.
If you have more time, you can add a few days to visit Tarangire and Lake Manyara, we can customize your trip.
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. You will have a private vehicle during your stay, to customize your experience to the fullest. Speke’s Camp is situated on the boundary of the Maasai Mara Reserve, surrounded by fabulous indigenous trees overhanging the Olare Orok River. Your meals are included and you can chat to your guide to set your days. During the season (August-Sept), it is possible to view the Great Migration, 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.
