2020 8 Days Wildebeest Migration Safari from India
The wildebeest migration safari allow you to sample the world greatest wildlife spectacle as the wildebeest crosses the mara river.
Every year staring from the early July to late September, over a million Gnus (wildebeests) and Zebras followed by the big cats cross over the rolling plains of the Masai Mara setting the most spectacular marvel of mother nature that cannot be witnessed in any other part of the world.
This undoubtedly becomes the best times to visit Africa. The selected Safari will show you this and more.
On this safari we will visit the premier parks and game reserves of Kenya climaxing with a visit to the world-famous Masai Mara Game Reserve for action-packed game viewing adventure.
The sight of the mass migration is truly awesome. As the migration unfolds, the wildebeest, zebra and gazelle are trailed by the predators- lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena and scavenger birds. It is an event one cannot afford to miss.
ITINERARY - 2020 8 DAYS WILDEBEEST MIGRATION SAFARI FROM INDIA
Day 01 - Arrive Nairobi Via JKIA
Land only tour starts in Nairobi this morning. Arrival Nairobi. Met and greeted with our "traditional welcome" and escorted to your hotel by African Authentic Safaris representatives. You will be assisted with check-in procedures. Situated in the Central Highlands at an altitude of 6,130 feet (1,870 metres), Nairobi enjoys a mild climate. This evening, we assemble for a safari briefing by your Tour Manager. The Tamarind Tree Hotel. [Dinner, Bed & Breakfast]. Day 02 - Samburu Wilderness Lodge Driving north we pass Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest mountain at 17,000 feet (5,199 metres). The massive size of this mountain and its gleaming and eroded snow-covered multiple peaks means that Mount Kenya dominates the surrounding countryside and even affects the local climate. This is also the traditional homeland of the Kikuyu people, the largest of Kenya's 40 recognized tribes. The Kikuyu believe that their god, Ngai, lives on Mount Kenya and so they build their homes with the doors facing towards the mountain, to welcome their god in. We cross the Equator again into the northern hemisphere on our way to Samburu Game Reserve in a semi-desert area of Kenya. Samburu is located on the Ewaso Nyiro River. In this dry land the forested riverbanks are excellent areas to see wildlife, as all animals congregate here to drink, especially at dusk and early in the morning. This afternoon we take a game drive in the park. First of 2 nights in Samburu. Samburu Sopa Lodge. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Day 03 - Full Day in Samburu Game Early morning and afternoon game drives in Samburu Game Reserve, which covers 40 square miles (104 square kilometres).Ololokwe Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop to our game viewing today. In Samburu we are sure to see elephants, warthogs and buffalo, which can be seen in many of Kenya's parks, but we should also see animals not found in other areas. These include the Grevy's Zebra, which has much narrower and more numerous stripes than the common (Burchell's) zebra.. Samburu is also home to the third of Kenya's giraffe species - the Reticulated Giraffe. This is also our best chance to see the blue-legged Somali Ostrich , the long-necked Gerenuk gazelle and the straight-horned Beisa Oryx antelope. Down by the river we hope to see crocodiles and hippos, as well as many beautiful birds. Second of 2 nights in Samburu. Samburu Sopa Game Lodge. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
