KENYA LODGE SAFARIS
–
Maasai Mara Migration
Safaris, Wildebeest Migration tour
Kenya holiday safari to see Masai Mara
wildebeest migration. 4-day Kenya lodge safaris in Kenya with a 3 night
luxury lodge safari staying at Mara
Sopa Lodge. The 4 days Kenya safari trip to the stunning Masai Mara Game
Reserve, the Kenyan part of the huge Serengeti ecosystem and in the
rainy season, is probably the largest concentration of wildlife. On the
mighty plains we meet large flocks of elephants, goats, zebras, hippos,
giraffes, gazelles and other herbivorous prey for the chasing lions,
hyenas, leopards and cheetahs. The next few days we come close to a host
of animals we experience from your private safari minibus or land
cruiser. From July to October you can experience the 1,200 km long hike
after water and fresh grass of over one million goats along with a few
hundred thousand zebras plus a lot of Thompson gazelles. It is during
this hike that some become victims of the huge crocodiles when they have
to cross the Mara River. After a good safari, it's a great moment to
experience the mighty starry sky and hear the sounds of the night
on the savannah. Check out this wonderful
Masai Mara wildebeest Migration
safaris that will offer a lifetime experience as part of Kenya
safaris tour.
Masai Mara Wildebeest Migration, 4-Day Kenya lodge safaris
-
Day 1: Lake Nakuru - Maasai Mara Kenya safaris tour
- On this Kenya
migration safaris tour depart Nairobi
at 7.30am with a drive through the Great Rift Valley past the
spectacular Volcano Mount Longonot and head towards the rolling
plains of the Masai Mara. The last one and a half-hours of the
journey find us on bumpy, dusty, dirt road as we drive across the
Loita Plains taking in the scenery. Before entering into the Game
Reserve there is a visit to a Masai village. Not only can you see
inside a traditional Masai hut, and learn about Masai tradition and
lifestyle, but you can also try your hand at the age-old tradition
of bartering for souvenirs. Dinner and
overnight at Mara Sopa Lodge B,L,D.
Day 2 & 3: Masai Mara Kenya lodge safari
Two full days in the reserve to explore Masai Mara and
probably trailing migrating wildebeests. The Masai Mara is the most famous
and prolific game park in Kenya covering an area of 1672 square
kilometres. It is classified as a Reserve as opposed to a National
Park to allow the Masai people to use the area to graze their
cattle. A highlight of the Mara is no doubt the annual wildebeest
migration, when literally millions of these beasts stray north from
the Serengeti in search of grass for food, before turning south
again.
The Masai Mara has one of the highest concentrations of lion in
Africa and is a good place to try and spot the elusive leopard. In
most National Parks it is forbidden to drive at night so all game
viewing is done as early and as late as possible to get the best
conditions. The best time of the day to spot the hunting cats is
just before sunrise and just after sunset so we are up and away
early. During the heat of the day we return to the lodge for huge
buffet breakfasts and a chance to enjoy your superb hotel
facilities, including a chance to relax by the pool.
-
- Game Parks are places where the enthusiastic use a lot of film so
it’s advisable to have some extra. Hopefully we should be able to
spot prides of lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebra and hippo and
other more common animals such as wart hog, giraffe, and baboon -
almost every conceivable species of East African wildlife can be
spotted here.
At our lodge in the reserve there are many optional activities to
enjoy. In the evening there is the opportunity to learn more about
the Masai and their way of life with a talk about their rich culture
and an option to join them in traditional dancing. Early the next
morning hot air ballooning is on offer. It is an amazing experience,
as you take off with the sunrise and float above the Game Reserve,
viewing the wildlife for approximately an hour before landing in the
reserve to enjoy a full breakfast with champagne under the shade of
a tree on the plains. The wildlife looks on while you partake in
this luxurious fare. We offer two opportunities for a balloon safari
on this tour, your tour leader will advise you whether the Masai
Mara or Serengeti ballooning option is the best choice depending on
the location of the migration. Dinner and overnight at Mara Sopa
Lodge, B,L,D.

Wildebeest Migration Safaris - The
migratory path of the wildebeests
December, January, February & March:
The Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater are arguably
the most impressive wildlife sanctuaries in the world. During
the months of December through to March, the seemingly endless
plains of the Southern Serengeti and the Crater are inhabited by
massive herds of wildebeest and zebra. The enormous herds graze
on the lush grass. In the calving season (late January through
to mid March) the herds are concentrated here, attracting the
attention of predators like lion, cheetah and hyena.
April & May:
During the months of April and May the over-grazed plains are
unable to sustain such massive herds. The migration sweeps
northwest, moving from the short grass plains of the southern
Serengeti and the Crater to the long grass plains and woodland
of the Serengeti's western corridor, towards Lake Victoria. This
period is during the long rains and is considered unsuitable for
game viewing as roads are often closed or impassable.
June:
By now the wildebeest herds have depleted the western corridor's
pasturelands and the herds must continue north to graze further.
May through June is the period where breeding occurs and is a
transitional period between the wet and the dry season.
July, August, September & October:
In early July the numerous herds have gathered at the banks of
the Mara River, the final hurdle to the lush grasses of the
Masai Mara. Desperate to feed, the wildebeest and zebra must
negotiate crocodile infested waters. Due to their large numbers
the majority of animals pass safely, however predators take
advantage of stragglers whilst others drown in strong currents.
During this period the wildebeest remain in the Mara.
November:
The arrival of short rains draws the migration south. Towards
the end of November the herds make their way back into the
southern Serengeti and the cycle continues.
Please note: The wildebeest
migration is a naturally occurring event and timings may vary
depending on the seasonal rains and the above is just a typical
pattern.
About Masai MaraThe massive and rolling plains of Africa are intensely found out
on a Kenya safari tour. A continent full of exceptional
diversity and vast beauty, Africa’s charming but intolerant
landscape have to be seen up close so one can clearly admire its
splendor. From Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya to the
Serengeti National Park of Tanzania, exploring those and
different flora and fauna parks is an adventure like no
different.
With its spectacular vistas and a
diversity of untamed animals, safaris provide a safe but
alluring way to stand up close to the local plant life and
fauna. See the ferocious carnivores like lions and cheetahs as
they prowl for prey and experience the gentle beauty of the
herbivores inclusive of giraffes, zebras, elephants, gazelles
and others as they graze in the picturesque prairies. Pass a
watering hole and seize a glimpse of the massive hippopotamus
because it lumbers along, trying to live cool.
Guided excursions are to be had lasting as
little as a morning or afternoon or for numerous days. Overnight
adventures provide luxurious accommodation at non-public game
lodges placed nearby of all of the wild action taking place
outdoor its confines. In the darkish, pay attention as a lion’s
roar breaks the night time silence and at sunrise, revel in a
breakfast with the scenic African panorama as your backdrop.

Mount Kenya is Africa’s
second highest mountain at 5,199m (17,058
feet) and the highest of all Kenya
Mountains. Mount Kenya is roughly circular, about 60km across at the
200mm contour, where the steep font hills rise out of the gentler slopes
of the centered highlands. At the centre of the massif, the main peaks
rise sharply from around 4,500m to the main summit of Batian 5,199m,
Nelion 5,188m and point Lenana 4,985m. Other major summits on the
mountain include Point Piggott 4,957m, Point Dutton 4,885 and Point John
4,883m. Of the three main peaks (Batian, Lenana and Nelion), only point
Lenana can be reached by trekkers and the other two being only for
technical climbers. |

Africa's highest
mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro stands on featureless part of the East
African plateau, on the Tanzanian side of the Kenya border near Moshi,
side by side with the smaller Mount Meru. These mountains are extinct
volcanoes, with Kilimanjaro actually being the agglomeration of three
distinct volcanoes, Kibo (5896m/ 19,340 ft), Mwenzi (5,149 / 16,896 ft)
and Shira (3,962m / 13,000 ft). whose violent creation is geologically
associated with the creation of the Great Rift Valley, 100km to the
West. |
 |
|
Mount Meru is Mount
Kilimanjaro's little sister, standing at 4,566m compared to 5,895m, but
is still an impressive freestanding volcano, which makes a superb four
day climb to the top. It last erupted in 1910 therefore can be
classified as an active volcano. The first Mount Meru ascent was made by Dr. Fritz
Jaeger, 1904. The town of Arusha lies at the base of Mount Meru
Trekking, loads of trek companies do this trek. Wild animals are
frequently found on this mountain therefore an armed ranger usually
accompanies the trekkers. |
