Schedule: 


  • Day 1 NAIROBI - NAMANGA - LONGIDO
    Nairobi was created in 1896 at the time of the construction of the Mombasa-Kampala railway on a high plateau at 1600 metres altitude. At this time the Masai grazed their cattle along the banks of the river ‘Ennairobi, which in their language ‘Maa’, means cold. Today Nairobi has More...e aspect of a European town with a population of over 1 million. It is difficult to imagine that at the beginning of the century you may have met a lion or rhinoceros during an evening stroll down the main street. We leave Nairobi in the direction of the Ngong Hills. Acacia trees and termite mounds line this excellent tarmac road, which brings us rapidly to the border at Namanga. The town is dominated by the sacred mountain Ol donyo Orok, where one of the most important Laibon or Masai sorcerers has been buried. But it is not the religious aspect that attracts the mass of people to this town. In fact it’s the merchants with their contraband goods who are trading along the border post. All sorts of items are proposed to us while we go through the formalities to cross into Tanzania. Once in Tanzania the huge plains continue to spread before us, as far as Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru. On a small track we head towards the Longido hills. Night camping.
  • Days 2 & 3 RIFT VALLEY & LAKE NATRON
    We climb out of the Rift Valley onto an escarpment several hundred metres high. From high above on the cliff edge we take our last look over to Mt. Gelai and it’s reflection shimmering on the surface of Lake Natron. We cross plains inhabited by wildlife and cattle grazing harmoniously, whilst the herdsman surveys from his lookout on a granite boulder. After passing through the green hills of Loliondo where we meet many people and shop for some fresh supplies, the road takes us to one of the most important animal reserves in Africa. Night camping.
  • Day 4 SONJO COUNTRY / LOLIONDO
    We climb out of the Rift Valley onto an escarpment several hundred metres high. From high above on the cliff edge we take our last look over to Mt. Gelai and it’s reflection shimmering on the surface of Lake Natron. We cross plains inhabited by wildlife and cattle grazing harmoniously, whilst the herdsman surveys from his lookout on a granite boulder. After passing through the green hills of Loliondo where we meet many people and shop for some fresh supplies, the road takes us to one of the most important animal reserves in Africa. Night camping.
  • Day 5 6 & 7 SERENGETI
    Serengeti National Park is one of the largest animal reserves in Africa and covers an area of 14500 km². During the annual migration we can observe immense herds of several hundred thousand animals. The last aerial census counted 1.2 million wildebeest, 700 000 zebra, 400 000 gazelle, and of course all the predators that follow and hunt the feebler of the animals. Over 2 million animals follow the rhythm of the seasons. During the few days spent here we join their rhythm and follow the procession, observing this magnificent wonder of nature. We pass through a wide variety of ecosystems from savannah dotted with acacias at Lobo, to open plains with the occasional rock kopjie of Seronera. 2 Nights camping 3 rd night Ndutu Safari Lodge.
  • Day 8 NGORONGORO CRATER
    Ngorongoro Conservation Area was created with a separate entity to the Serengeti to protect the Masai herdsmen. The Masai had in fact found themselves thrown out of their traditional pasturelands. It was decided that to protect the ancestral rights of the Masai they should be given the right to graze their cattle in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area but not in the Serengeti. This compromise seems to be a success as we are able to observe an enormous variety of wildlife against the backdrop of some spectacular landscapes. The amateur photographer will appreciate the contrast of the cloud charged skies which surround the hill tops, the brilliant golden sunlight illuminating the vegetation on the crater floor, and the white soda lake where pink flamingos search for food. Ngorongoro Conservation Area is not only an animal reserve but also a very important location for research into the roots of mankind. At Olduvai and Laetoli, Louis Leakey discovered several Australopithecus as well as footprints that date back 3.5 million years. Night in Lodge.
  • Day 9 NAIROBI
    With a much More abundant rainfall falling on the Mts. Meru and Kilimanjaro, the Warushe and Wachagga people cultivate the rich soil. They are cousins of the Masai but are now sedentary Nilotics. Only the National Parks of Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru have prevented them from cultivating the entire mountains. Mt. Meru towers 4566 metres high and is a dormant volcano which was last active about 100 years ago. A good tarmac road leads us to Namanga and the border post once again. When formalities to cross the border are completed, we head to Nairobi passing by the Ngong Hills. These hills which were made famous by Karen Blixen and her book "Out of Africa", tower over the edge of the Rift Valley. After a last glance over Hemmingway's Africa we find ourselves once again amongst the hustle and bustle of city life. Transfer to your hotel in Nairobi.

The Masai Mara Ride

Country of Origin: 
Kenya
An eight-night exploration safari on horseback in the Masai Mara wilderness. This wilderness is an extension of the Serengeti (Tanzania) ecosystem and is considered to be Kenya's best wildlife sanctuary, where animals can still be seen in vast numbers. The wildlife and bird viewing are phenomenal. The Mara is also home to the colourful and handsome Masai people who, with their herds of livestock, are synonymous with the region.
