Program
Day 1: Nairobi - Maasai Mara
You will be picked up from your hotel / Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) by Seremara Safaris’ driver guide and you will be transferred to Wilson Airport (WIL) for a 45-minute flight over the Rift Valley to Olkiombo Airstrip. You will be met by Basecamp’s guide who will transfer you to the camp. Hop on one of the tailor-made 4×4 safari Land Cruisers for a safari game drive en route to Basecamp Masai Mara.
Maasai Mara Game Reserve is one of the most well-known parks in Africa. Almost all the iconic wildlife animals can be viewed here. This is also where the famous wildebeest and zebra migration from Serengeti to Maasai Mara takes place between July and October. Along the way, you will have your first encounter with the wildlife Masai Mara has to offer. Look out for the Big Five which includes a lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino.
You will arrive at Basecamp for lunch. Set on the bank of the Talek River, Basecamp Maasai Mara's location is spectacular, with the great Mara plains surrounding the camp and the river in front of each tent. After lunch, you will settle into your tents. Later in the afternoon, you will join your Maasai guide for a camp walk along the Talek River path. Your guide will show you some of the operational elements that have made Basecamp one of the leading pioneers in the responsible tourism industry.
At around 16:00, stroll across the private suspension bridge to meet your Maasai guide for your afternoon safari game drive. While you venture out you have a chance to see many animals and the beautiful landscape of Maasai Mara. As the sun sets, you will enjoy a classic Basecamp sundowner under an acacia tree before returning to the lodge for dinner. As you rest around the fireplace, listen to your Maasai guide tell stories about their culture as you reflect on the experiences of the day.
Day 2: Maasai Mara
Wake up early for a cup of coffee, followed by a morning safari game drive. Enjoy the fresh breeze at the break of dawn and marvel as the bush comes to life in the early morning hours. Throughout the year, Maasai Mara is a place of natural drama, color, and life. Enjoy watching Maasai Mara wildlife as well as a variety of birds in their natural habitat.
See the wildebeest in their thousands, the beautiful zebras, and the graceful giraffes. You will have a brief stopover for a picnic breakfast overlooking the Mara Plains before proceeding with your game drive. Head back to the camp. Visit the Basecamp Masai brand workshop to see how the Maasai women make different beaded items. You have a chance to buy souvenirs as a support initiative for the women.
Afterwards, head off to the camp’s tree plantation area which has become home to over 285 species of birds. Culminate your camp walk with an optional tree-planting session. After lunch, take a stroll to Talek Center together with your Maasai guide to see some of the community projects that Basecamp proudly partners with the Maasai community to help in community development.
Meet the local Maasai people and discover more about their way of life. Return to the camp late in the afternoon to join your Maasai guide for an evening game drive. In the evening, the Mara provides an opportunity to see lions, leopards, and other wild cats, sated for their night hunts. Return to the camp in time for dinner. Unwind and be mesmerized by the dazzling stars.
