Day 3:            Sarova Mara Game Camp, Masai Mara

Masai Mara

The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife area. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomises Africa for many, and then add a Masai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation need go no further.
The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. But that is not where the game viewing ends; large prides of lions, elephants and giraffes in grasslands, gazelles and eland to mention but a few. Aside from traditional vehicle safaris, game walks and hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential.

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti National Park – together with Kenya’s Masai Mara form Africa’s most impressive wildlife spectacle, recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site, the Serengeti is a very substantial conservation area and the undisputed highlight of the spectacular Northern Tanzanian safari circuit. The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains … but that is not where the game viewing ends. Most people think of the Serengeti as being a vast endless grassy plain, but in reality the ecosystem is comprised of a wide range of landscapes, with areas of acacia forest, riverine vegetation, soda lakes and granite mountains. Each area has its own different character and range of wildlife and it is often worth combining two or three different areas in a single safari in order to take advantage of this variety.
