MIGRATION - THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH KENYA

(UNISEX- FRIENDS & FAMILY TRIP)
Overview
Experience the spectacle which has been dubbed as one of the “New Seven Wonders Of The World”. Few lifetime experiences can beat that of one watching over a million Wildebeest plus hundreds of thousands of Gazelles and Zebras – followed by their predators – embark on a 1000 km long circular trek through the unfenced Masai Mara in search of pasture and water. This natural spectacle is both thrilling and profoundly moving.

The Ark Tree Lodge @ Aberdare National Park
Very iconic, somewhat quirky, The Ark was built to resemble Noah’s Ark. It overlooks a floodlit waterhole and salt lick which attracts a wealth of wildlife, especially herds of elephant. There are viewing balconies and lounges on four different levels, as well as a bunker right next to the waterhole where you can watch and photograph the animals so close you can almost touch them yet remain unseen.

Lake Naivasha – A Photographer’s Dream with Nature as your Model
Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in the Kenyan section of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and is located Northwest of Nairobi with the town of Naivasha on its north-eastern shore. At 1,890 meters (6,200 ft) above sea level, the lake is at the highest point in the Kenyan Rift and is set in a complex geological combination of volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits from a much larger Pleistocene era lake. The rich flora attracts a variety of animals that include buffalo, giraffe, antelope, warthog and monkey and you will almost certainly catch sight of hippos lazily watching proceedings from the cooling water.
Abundance Of Wildlife – The Masai Mara Reserve
It is Kenya’s most popular game park because it is relatively small, yet it hosts an amazing concentration of wildlife. You are almost guaranteed to see the Big Five. The Great Wildebeest Migration – Masai Mara hosts the annual wildebeest migration. Home of The Big Cats – Masai Mara is often known as the ‘Kingdom Of Lions.’ Plus, you can take a Balloon Ride over Masai Mara and take in an unreal panoramic view of the African plains as you spy some of Africa’s varied wildlife in its natural habitat from overhead. You get to meet the friendly Masai people. Excellent Birding Opportunities – There are over 570 recorded species of birds in the reserve. You’ll never be short of things to do and see.
Luxury Mara Ashnil Camp
During this month, daily river crossings by the herds can be seen at the Mara and Talek Rivers in Kenya. In fact, this is often the base of the most exciting crossings! Our stay at the Luxurious Ashnil Mara Camp located inside the Masai Mara National Reserve and close to the Mara River which is famous for the wildebeest migration. Our affordable luxury Masai Mara Camp is arguably in one of the very best locations in the Masai Mara for game viewing and also provides the perfect setting to sit and relax at the end of an exciting day of game drives.
