The area is known for excellent game sightings, including large prides of lions.

Day 5
Masai Mara Game Reserve – Siana Intrepids Tented Camp
The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues today during extensive game runs. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs. We also visit a Masai village and glimpse life so ancient and yet so enduring that it astonishes. The true pinnacle of our journey to the Mara however will be Bush Sundowners—a civilized cocktail party staged in the untamed wilds of Africa.

Common questions
How long is the 6 Days Aberdares Kigio Masai Mara?
This itinerary runs 6 days, starting and ending in Nairobi. It is a private departure, so the dates are yours to choose and the pace can be adjusted. If you would like more or less time in Kenya Safari, we can rebuild the itinerary around that.
How many people will be in my safari vehicle?
Six at most, and that is a hard cap. Our Land Cruisers seat seven, so there is always a spare seat and every guest has a window and unobstructed access to the pop-up roof hatch. A fully private vehicle is available on any itinerary for a supplement.
When is the best time to do this Kenya Safari trip?
July to October is peak season, with the Mara River crossings and the best trekking weather, and it carries the highest rates. March to May is the long rains: green landscapes, newborn game, very few vehicles and the lowest prices of the year. January to February is dry, hot and excellent for general game viewing. There is no bad month, only months that suit different things.
How do I book, and what deposit is required?
Send an enquiry and we return a day-by-day itinerary with every cost itemised, usually within 24 hours. There is nothing to pay to get a quote. To confirm, we take a 30% deposit, with the balance due on arrival. Changes are free up to 30 days before departure and our full cancellation terms are published on the site.
