Overview

Maasai Mara in Full Season, at your pace

Eight days covers the Mara in full season plus the two parks that make a Kenyan safari feel complete: Nakuru for the Rift Valley lakes, Amboseli for elephants under Kilimanjaro.

July to October is the migration's Kenyan chapter — the same herds the Serengeti itineraries chase, spread across the border for the dry months.
