8 Days Samburu & Masai Mara Safari from Nairobi

What to Expect on This Safari:

1. Wildlife Viewing:
   • Samburu: Expect to see the Samburu Five (Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, Beisa oryx, and gerenuk), along with elephants, lions, cheetahs, and more.
   • Masai Mara: Famous for the Big Five and the Great Migration (if you visit during the migration season). The Mara is a top destination for predator sightings, particularly lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
2. Scenic Landscapes:
   • Samburu: Arid, semi-desert landscapes with thorny bush, rivers, and mountains.
   • Masai Mara: Vast open savannah plains, dotted with acacia trees and river crossings (especially during the migration).
3. Cultural Experiences:
   • You’ll have the opportunity to visit local Maasai villages to learn about their rich traditions and lifestyle, and possibly visit Samburu villages to experience the culture of the Samburu people.
4. Safari Lodging:
   • Accommodations will range from luxurious lodges and tented camps to more budget-friendly options. Many lodges offer beautiful views, swimming pools, and excellent dining options.
5. Game Drives:
   • Morning and evening game drives with professional guides. The Mara is especially known for its exciting predator action and large herds of wildebeest and zebras, while Samburu offers a more remote, quieter safari experience.
6. Optional Activities:
   • Hot Air Balloon Ride in Masai Mara: For an unforgettable sunrise view of the Mara plains and wildlife from above.
   • Walking Safaris: A guided walk with a Maasai or Samburu guide, learning about plants, animals, and local traditions.
