Daily Departures

  The Mara is Kenya's best park, because it is so lush and fertile, providing abundant grasses for the hundreds of thousands of plains game always found here.

The gently rolling grassland plains satisfy the most demanding imaginations of what an African big game park should be and the density of predators in the Mara is the greatest of any East African park. Almost all safaris see both lion and cheetah, and there is a good chance of finding leopard as well.

Return after exciting game viewing afternoons, game walks, or visits to a Maasai village for sundowners in the bar before a gourmet dinner and two overnights in your luxury Mara camp. There is also the opportunity to book a memorable hot air balloon ride over this magnificent area.

The prices include: ** Meals as detailed in brackets following each day's description below; ** Two local flights: Nairobi to the Mara, and the Mara back to Nairobi; ** All park entrance fees, VAT and other government taxes; ** Comprehensive pre-trip material with discount coupons for travel gear and equipment. Additional expenses not included: - Meals not included; - All beverages; - Requisite visas and other travel preparations like inoculations; - Tipping.
