After breakfast, you will be transferred to Wilson airport (30mins) for your scheduled domesticflight to Maasai Mara National Reserve (1000/1045hrs).
Maasai Mara Game Reserve is one Kenya’s most iconic and arguably the most beautiful wildlife reserves in Africa. Her 1,510km² of grassland and acacia studded plains are home to the Big-5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) as well as many other species of wild mammals. It is also home to the famous and majestic Maasai people who can often be seen herding their cattle on the periphery of the park or in their cultural manyattas (boma) just outside. Their age old culture, customs, traditions and demeanor are a marvel for locals and visitors alike. Between July and October, it is scene of the phenomenal annual wildebeest migration, considered the 8th wonder of the natural world, when over 2 million wildebeest accompanied by over 200 thousand Zebra and opportunistic predators make their yearly sojourn from southern Serengeti in Tanzania to Maasai Mara in search of food. When they scatter all over the plains in an endless rib to rib push and shove; galloping, grazing and galloping further north again, it is the most amazing wildlife spectacle ever seen. But their most incredible moments remain the Mara river crossings where columns upon columns of wildebeest scamper into the river to satisfy this genetic hibernation. In the meantime, massive crocodiles lie in their wait craving for an easy feast; and yes, many do fall victim while others drown, although the population never seems to wane. It is a magical time when everyone wants to be there.But the Mara is an all year destination where the wildlife drama never ends; multitudes of resident game including elephants, prides of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, warthogs, large herds of buffalo, rhinos, an occasional leopard, warthogs, several species of antelopes including eland and wildebeest and many other species of mammals as well as birds (the secretary birds, ostrich, Kori bustard and many others) can be seen all year round; it never gets dull.

We will marvel at the ornately decorative HinduTemples and the intricate minarets of the many mosques. A visit will be made to the massive Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in 1593. A short walk through the maze of narrow streets in the Old stone town, peering through studded, heavy wooden doors and snatching tantalizing glimpses of the Old dhow harbour will conjure up images of swash-bucking seafarers and silk-clad merchants. At the bustling Mackinnon Market, we will absorb the kaleidoscope of sights, scents and colors in the spice shops, whilst our guide points out the many visible features of Mombasa’s diverse history.
