Masai
Mara is most famous for the spectacular annual migration of over a million
wildebeest, zebra, gazelle etc from the Serengeti in northern Tanzania crossing
the Mara River into Kenya in search of fresh feeding grounds, which takes place
in late July - October.
From the
International media.
It’s now official. The Mara is an international conservation destination. It’s
a verdict that was arrived by a panel of experts and announced in the American
broadcasting corporation after many months of research. The wildebeest
migrations have now been placed among the 7 new wonders of the world in the
same category with The Tibets potala palace, the old Jerusalem city, the polar
ice caps of Iceland, The underwater Hawaiian Islands and the Mayan pyramids in
Mexico among others.
You are
visiting Masai mara to see the annual migrations which starts from the month of
June and climaxes in the month of August before closing over to Serengeti
towards the month of Oct.
THOUGH
MIGRATIONS ARE DESCRIBED HERE BELOW AS THE HIGHLIGHTS OF A MAASAI MARA TOUR,
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT’S ONLY IN THE MONTH OF JULY / AUG / SEPT / OCT THAT YOU GET

migrations.
You
are visiting Masai Mara to see the annual migrations which start from the month
of June and climaxes in the month of August before closing over to Serengeti
towards the month of Oct

What exactly is the wildebeest migration?
The
wildebeest migration is a dramatic story. It takes place within Kenya and
Tanzania and is the greatest wildlife show on earth. Between the open plains of
Serengeti and the Masai Mara, thousands and thousands of wildebeest and zebras
migrate to greener pastures as seasons change and circle of life and death
continues. Predators closely follow the wildebeest migrations waiting for an
opportunity to strike weak prey as they make their way into different
territories.. The most interesting part is when you watch them as they cross
the Mara River. The first ones to jump into the river are trampled upon to
death by the following multitude. The dead animals become a bridge over which
all the other animals cross the river. The crocodiles feed on the remaining
carcasses for months.
Majority
of tourists literally camp in the Mara during this period with their flashy
digital cameras. They will trail the migrations and even the members of the big
5 are no longer an interest at this time.
When its time to cross over the river, the tourists will position
themselves strategically along the Mara river, trying to get the best shot
possible. Others will ride on the hot air balloon to watch the migrations from the
skies. To show the implication of this phenomenal show, members of both local
and international media also make their way to Mara if only to capture this hot
news for interesting reading. It’s also
a common feature in the world travel magazines.
This is a
spectacle that should be witnessed at least once in a lifetime.

Optional Balloon ride
06 Schedules: BALLOON
SAFARI IN MASAI MARA – 1 HOUR RIDE.
05:00 am:
You will be picked up from your lodge and transfer you to the launch site. Here
you will meet your pilot, receive a briefing and watch the inflation of your
balloon.
At
dawn we take off, rising as the sun rises and float in whichever direction the
winds of the morning take us. Your pilot can precisely control the altitude of
your balloon: sometimes flying at treetop height, sometimes lower, offering a
unique perspective and great photographic opportunities of the wildlife below.
From
time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful
whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the
natural sounds below.
The flight is for about one hour depending on conditions, on landing you
celebrate in the traditional manner with champagne (well, an excellent
sparkling wine), before sitting down to a full English breakfast prepared and
served in the bush in 'Out of Africa' style with bone china, linen
table
cloths, King's silver etc.
After
breakfast you receive your Balloon certificate and we drive you back to the
Lodge with game viewing enroute
.
This is how it begins and ends ---LIVE COVERAGE.
You will ascend in early morning when the winds
are calmest.
Watch as your professional crew fills the balloon
with hot air. Slowly the big colorful bag begins to bulge and take shape. Now
board the traditional wicker gondola basket while the expert pilot makes final
adjustments. As the pink and red fireball of the sun rises in splendor over the
plain, you are up and away –for the flight of a life time!
Your balloon can soar over the most inaccessible
and undisturbed parts of the Mara, with only the intermittent whisper of the
balloon’s gas burners punctuating the silence of your majestic flight .Because
wind and conditions vary, every flight is a new and a different experience
.From your vantage point about 50—500 feet above
the reserve, you have a fantastic 360 degrees bird’s view as one of the most
dramatic scenes in nature unfolds beneath you. From here, you will see the wonder
of migrations, witness herds of antelope flowing like school of fish across the
plain, groups of elephants grazing undisturbed in a remote ravine, lioness
stealthily stalking a herd of grunting wildebeest or zebras conferring in a
confusion of black and while stripes and bark-like calls.
After your incredible flight, it is time to come
back down to earth for breakfast. As you dig into a splendid breakfast of
sizzling bacon, eggs, sausages, home-made breads, fresh tropical fruit and
steaming cups of Kenyan tea under the clear blue sky, you might wonder what all
the ordinary people are doing on this perfect African morning.
Before leaving, the pilot will present you with a
balloon flight certificate. No flight of the imagination can match this air-borne
experience
Enroute back to the lodge, you can visit a masai
village..

Visit authentic Masai
Village to see and experience their wonderful culture. And while
at the village, you will visit the Masai village for local interaction,
cultural exchange, dances, fire lighting with a barbeque goat eating ceremony

details the way the Masai live, their beliefs and traditions. You will get
demonstrations of how the Masai make fire-using sticks. You will go into their
houses and will be shown the full family set-up. At the end of the guided tour

Crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some
two to three million years ago, is 610 m (2,001 ft) deep and its floor covers
