Then Proceed to Masai Mara National Reserve.
Enter Masai land where these habitual pastoralists are often seen tending their cattle from the side of the road.
Pass through the town of Narok, and continue our drive possibly getting a glimpse of some wildlife along the way.
The main section of road between Nairobi and the Reserve is in a very poor state, so be prepared for a rough ride! We arrive at our campsite, Acacia Camp in the evening.
Acacia Camp looks on to the Meguarra hills and the stream that meanders by on the bottom end forms a natural border to the Masai Mara National Reserve.
The Reserve remains unfenced, allowing wildlife to roam freely across into the surrounding area and if they choose – through our own camp! No need to be afraid, as the local ‘Askari’ will keep a look out for any unwanted predators.

Proceed to the Serengeti National Park, entering the park after lunch.
The Serengeti (Masai for “endless plains”) is famous for its enormous concentration of game (especially the big cats) and for the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelles.
The abundance of plains game in this area is truly astounding.
Enter the park through the lesser travelled western corridor and game drive en-route to our campsite in the centre of the park.
Tonight we bush camp (no ablutions) in the wild surrounded by the sounds of the African bushveld, pierced only by the calls of the nocturnal wildlife.

Then drive to Arusha. The Ngorongoro Crater with its 600 m high walls and 20 km width is a natural marvel.
The Crater’s rim offers spectacular views, but the true scale of this caldera is only appreciated from the floor itself where the abundance of its animal inhabitants becomes apparent.
It is home to nearly every species of African animal and offers a chance to view an incredible concentration of East African mammals, such as elephant, rhino, buffalo, hippo, lion and plain’s game.
After spending the morning game driving in The Crater we continue to our campsite outside Arusha where we spend the evening musing over our thrilling wildlife experience.
