provided: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 06:
Maasai Mara National Park
You have the whole day to enjoy the sights
and sounds of Maasai Mara on your early morning and late
afternoon game viewing drives.
The jewel
in
Africa’s crown, Maasai Mara is host to the most spectacular
array of wildlife. Her 320 square kilometers of open savannah,
woodlands and tree-lined rivers creates an eco-system that
supports huge numbers of bird and mammal species. The western
border of the park is the spectacular Siria Escarpment, and
together with the acacia dotted plains, creates scenery of
stunning beauty.
Lion are
found in abundance throughout the park, as are elephant,
giraffe, a variety of gazelle species and zebra. Cheetah and
leopard are also regularly seen and, if lucky, you may also
find rhino. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara, and
patience is often rewarded with unique sightings: a pride of
lion stalking their prey; a solitary leopard retrieving its
kill from the high branches of an acacia tree; male wildebeest
sparring to attract females into their harem; or even a herd
of elephant protecting their young from opportunistic
predators. The annual wildebeest migration traditionally is
present in the Mara from July-September and at this time
nature’s dramas unfold before your very eyes at every turn. As
well as wildlife, the Maasai Mara is also home to many members
of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the
borders of the park – morans (warriors) loping across the
plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a
tree discussing matters of the day.
Meals
provided: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Mara Intrepids Camp
Day 07:
Maasai Mara National Park
You have another full day to enjoy the
splendors of the Maasai Mara. There will also be the option to
take a balloon safari or visit to Rusinga or
Mfangano
Island on Lake Victoria (at an extra cost).
Balloon
Safari
As the balloon is inflated against the
first rays of sunrise your pilot will go through safety
procedures. It’s then time to climb aboard. Once aloft, the
balloon floats gently over the plains, giving a bird’s eye
view of the game below as the sun creeps slowly over the
horizon. Spread beneath you is a panorama of Africa –
elephants looking improbably small; giraffe browsing amongst
the treetops; antelope grazing; a pair of lionesses stalking a
herd of wildebeest; an eagle guarding his eerie; and cheetah
glancing up as the shadow of the huge balloon crosses their
paths.
After
around one hour the balloon lands and nearby breakfast is
already being prepared. The smells of bacon, sausages and eggs
drift on the breeze as you begin breakfast with platefuls of
exotic Kenyan fruits and homemade pastries and, of course,
glasses of bubbly to toast your flight in a tradition
initiated by the Montgolfier brothers.
Lake
Victoria
Adventure
An early start this morning with a transfer
to take you to the airstrip for a 0630 hrs flight (25 minutes)
by light aircraft to Mfangano or
Rusinga
Island on Lake Victoria. There will be the opportunity to try
fishing for the legendary giant Nile perch found in these
waters as you explore the myriad of tiny islands found in this
region of the lake. An experienced and knowledgeable fisherman
captains each boat. Nile perch weighing over 150 lb are
regularly caught on the lake. Lake Victoria is a spectacular
sight: the world's second largest freshwater lake, an inland
sea covering some 68,800 square kilometers. Although an area
comparable in size to Scotland, Lake Victoria remained unknown
to the outside world until the middle of the 19th century.
Birdlife is abundant and includes the spectacular fish eagles
that can be seen perching high in the treetops or dramatically
swooping across the lake as they capture fish in their fiery
talons. There is the chance to stop at a traditional fishing
village and see how the villagers live from day to day before
returning to the island for your return flight to the Maasai
Mara.
The
afternoon is available for a game viewing drive and/or other
activity in the Mara whether or not you take the optional
adventure.
Meals
provided: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Mara Intrepids Camp
