11 Day – The Great Migration

Jambo! The driver is waiting upon your arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport Nairobi to bring you to the Nairobi Wilson Airport (which takes about 45 minutes). You board a stunning 1-hour flight to the Mara North Conservancy, the northern half of the Serengeti-Masai Mara ecosystem. Landed at the Musiara Airstrip, you receive a bush welcome drink, a warm African welcome. Then it’s time for your transfer to the Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp (which takes approximately 30 minutes).  After the check-in and camp briefing, you have lunch and some free time to enjoy the facilities of the camp, overlooking the Mara River (don’t miss our hippo pool!). Your personal butler is on call 24/7 to assist with any inquiries you may have during your stay at the camp. Late afternoon your adventure starts! You go on an exclusive game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Ideal for making the most spectacular photos! In the evening a Maasai guides you to the restaurant to enjoy a fine dinner and back to your room for your first overnight at the camp.

This morning after a delicious breakfast, you leave for a full day private game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the world’s greatest wildlife sanctuaries. Together with the Serengeti it forms one spectacular ecosystem with an incredible diversity of wild animals. During ‘The Great Migration’ (July – October) over a million wildebeest and thousands of other animals pass through, searching for fresh new grass after the rains. Game viewing is excellent year-round with an extraordinary density of animals, including the ‘big five’. The advantage of a private safari is that you only need to take your own wishes and those of your travel companion into account. Lunch is served picnic style in the bush, an amazing experience! Back at the camp you enjoy some time at leisure and have dinner as you exchange your stories of today’s adventures before your last overnight in your luxury tent.

The day starts with a nice cup of coffee, ready to leave for an early morning game drive in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Our expert guides know the area like nobody else and do their utmost to trace the game for you as the sun rises. During the morning period the animals are more active and you have the best light conditions to take your pictures. When you return at the camp, a sumptuous breakfast is already set up for you. Depending on your flight time, you have your last lunch at the camp before your transfer to the Musiara Airstrip.  A superb 2,5-hour flight brings you to the Ukunda Airstrip. The driver is waiting to bring you to the Neptune Palm Beach Boutique Resort & Spa (an 8 km drive), ideally situated at the beautiful Diani Beach. The start of your fantastic beach holiday. You stay on all-inclusive basis in a Deluxe Garden Room.

Enjoy your beach time at the Neptune Palm Beach Boutique Resort & Spa.

Time to return home with a suitcase full of unforgettable African memories. A transfer is foreseen to bring you to the Moi International Airport of Mombasa (approximately 2-hour drive).
