Overnight at Olakira Camp, with meals, drinks and drives included.

Includes & Excludes

Day 6

Olakira Camp and the Mara River

Includes & Excludes

Day 7

Olakira Camp and the Mara River

Staying at Olakira Mobile Camp

This will be your last day on the Tanzanian side of the Mara River. If you weren't lucky enough to see any river crossings on the previous two days, we've included this day to ensure that you spend enough time on the river bank. There are many other species such as leopard, lion, cheetah and even rhino that you may be lucky to see in this secluded corner of the northern Serengeti. Enjoy sundowners around the camp fire and reminisce about the past three days before we leave for the Masai Mara. 

Includes & Excludes

Day 8

Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara

Staying at Rekero Mara Camp

A flight via the two little border towns of Tarime and Migori will get you into Kenya’s Masai Mara. You'll arrive at Ol Kiombo airstrip in the heart of the Mara where your driver-guide from Rekero Camp will fetch you. The camp is on the Talek River, close to the confluence of the Mara and is ideally located for the best of what the Masai Mara has to offer. Explore the Mara River for more crossings in the afternoon or explore the famous paradise plains and Musiara Swamp to the north west.

Includes & Excludes

Day 9

Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara

Staying at Rekero Mara Camp

Spend a full day exploring the Masai Mara and you'll soon realise why this reserve is so highly regarded; lots of big cats and other predators roam the plains. Rekero's location is perfect, away from the traffic of the Mara Triangle but close enough to the Mara River to be in the thick of things if there's a build-up of zebra and wildebeest. We suggest you divide your time between the migration and looking for predator interactions, which should be plentiful at this time of year. 

Includes & Excludes

Day 10

Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara

Staying at Rekero Mara Camp

Enjoy your last full day in the Masai Mara with good sightings and interaction. Sip your last drink around the camp fire in the Masai Mara.

Includes & Excludes

Day 11

End of Dream African Safari

Your flight to Nairobi departs in the late morning; you'll arrive at Wilson airport and transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International for your flight home.

We look forward to planning your next Authentic African Safari experience.
