Kenya’s Masai Mara is, without a doubt, one of the greatest safari destinations in Africa. Between July and October, things get busy in the Great Migration. Millions of zebra and wildebeest make the perilous crossing across the Masai Mara in search of new grazing territory. And in their wake comes a veritable horde of predators including lion and leopard.
Your guide will make sure that you get the best photographic opportunities as well as enrich you with the different amazing cultural practices of the local communities of the Maasai people. Dinner and overnight at Lenchada camp.

Activity: Game walk in the park
The park where you walk with the animals, Crescent Island Sanctuary, is only one. Located on Lake Naivasha, Kenya in the Great Rift Valley, it is simply one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya, often called Naivasha's best-kept secret. It is private, secure, and patrolled by guides who can accompany anyone who wishes for a guided walk. Surrounded by water, it is actually a peninsula and is accessible by boat from East or West as well as by road, taking under two hours on tarmac from Nairobi.
Crescent Island Game Sanctuary shores host abundant birdlife, especially huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan park, hence many film companies have been to the island to film the herds of Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Zebra, and Gazelle.
The area is not fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever-increasing population.
Hippos graze all over the area at night then sleep under the acacia or rest in the water by day. The giraffes who were born on the Island return to give birth; sometimes you see three generations at a time. Hyena come to hunt at night but are not resident on the island, the many pythons that do live here can be seen occasionally with a kill. Groups of Buffalo come and go but they are always monitored.
From the top of the hill, there is a 360-degree view across the Lake from Longonot to Hell's Gate to the Mau Escapement to Eburu and onto the Aberdares. Walking along the ridge in the golden hour before sunset whilst watching the animals grazing with the water shimmering beyond, is what Africa is all about. Dinner at the camp or lodge.
