The journey
The Mara is not a place you visit, it is a place that keeps time. Between July and October, one and a half million wildebeest press north across the Sand and Mara rivers, and the plains carry the sound of it for weeks.
What you will remember.
- River crossings at Sand River and the Mara Triangle
- Dawn hot-air balloon flight with a bush breakfast
- Big cat tracking with a resident Maasai spotter
- Evening visit to a Maasai manyatta
