Day 1: Meeting at Nairobi

You will be picked up at Jomo Kenya International Airport (if booking a flight connection, which we have specified) and afterwards you will have a transfer to the hotel in Nairobi. Enjoy the amenities of the hotel in order to recover from the flight journey.

Day 2: On the way to the Masai Mara

Today you will have an early start. After breakfast, you will be driven to Wilson Airport. You will fly with a small aircraft to the first Conservancy. The flight takes about 60 minutes. Afterwards you will drive to our camp and check into your room. The camp is excellently situated. The abundance of game in the area is exceptional.

The first game drive will take place in the afternoon. With a little luck you will experience the first great sightings.

Day 3 – 4: In the realm of animals

We get up early in the morning. After a coffee or tea, the morning game drive begins. Depending on the route and sightings we have breakfast on the way or return to camp.

After the morning game drive, there is ample time for a siesta or photo review if desired.

Later in the afternoon we will go on the second game drive. More great sightings are waiting for you.

The day is rounded off with a delicious dinner in the middle of the bush.

Day 5: On the way to the next lodge

In the morning you will go on a long game drive which ends at the second camp in another Conservancy. On the way you will have the opportunity to photograph the magnificent wildlife of the Masai Mara.

After check-in, a light lunch, and a relaxing siesta, you will embark on the next game drive in the afternoon.

Day 6 – 7: More wildlife

We will again do two game drives per day. With a bit of luck you will photograph the wildlife of the Masai Mara in the best light.

Day 8: End of the photo tour

Depending on the departure time, we will do another game drive in the morning. After that it is time to say goodbye. The photo tour ends after the return flight back to Nairobi. Individual travel or flight home.

Climate

Kenya can be visited all year round. From mid-December to the beginning of March and from the beginning of June to the end of October, Kenya has a dry season. In August / September the climate is pleasant with minimum temperatures around 10 – 15 degrees and maximum temperatures around 20 – 25 degrees. However, it can get very cool at night or early in the morning or in the evening during game drives. We strongly recommend packing a warm jacket / fleece for the game drives.

Luggage

On domestic flights you benefit from an increased baggage limit. You can take your photo equipment with you without worrying about the usual 15 kg limit per person for checked and hand luggage.

Fitness level

The trip does not require any special physical requirements.

Health

No vaccinations are mandatory, but some are recommended (malaria, yellow fever, etc.). Please seek advice from a tropical doctor, institute or your family doctor. They will provide you with the necessary advice and medication.

Insurance

We strongly advise you to purchase insurance for cancellation and return journey costs, which will be needed in the event of a secluded region being evacuated, a local hospital stay or return travel costs to your home country.
