Guides
George Husein
George has been traveling around Kenya for more than a decade and his love affair with the bush started when he came face to face with a lion while on a game drive in Tsavo East National Park; the lion jumped and slapped his windscreen. He is an adventure guide with a wide experience. He is a graduate of Utalii College in Kenya and he has very sharp eyes for spotting prey even where you cannot see them. His wide experience and passion for the wilderness have earned him several positive reviews from guests.
Location
This safari tour will take you through Maasai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya.
Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Masai Mara is regarded as Kenya’s favorite and most popular game reserve, with over 140,000 visitors per year. The reserve lies approximately 270 kilometers west of Nairobi and covers an area of approximately 1,510 square kilometers, bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The landscape is mostly open savannah grasslands and acacia shrubland.
Starting any time from late July, large herds of wildebeest and zebra follow the rains and start grazing in the wide and open grasslands of what has become fondly known as “The Mara.” They may be late, but they will always make the trip, driven by dry conditions in the Serengeti and led by lightning and thunder to the north. Come November, they start the homeward journey bound again for the Serengeti. This annual spectacle is known as the “Wildebeest Migration” and is not to be missed!
At this time of year, you will also see a large number of lions, hippos, crocodiles, and vultures, all of which prey on the weak and young migrating animals. Other games to be found in the Masai Mara at any time of the year include elephant, cheetah, baboons, gazelle, giraffe, jackals, leopard, hyenas, water buffalo, ostriches, and a large variety of antelope and birdlife.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park is just about 95 miles northwest of Nairobi. For the lovers of bird watching, Lake Nakuru is home to over 400 bird species, including both the greater and lesser flamingoes, as well as home to white rhinos.
The lake is easily accessible by road from Nairobi. It is famous for its flamingoes but is also home to other bird species including African fish eagles and pelicans. Surrounding the lakes are woodlands and grassland inhabited by rhinos and lions.
