Here is a reference video on how Masai Mara expedition would be,
The Big Cat Safari is my personal favourite of all expeditions. Join me by Feb’23 and explore Africa !
Here are top 5 reasons you must join us:
We stay right INSIDE the mara, which literally gives more time, specifically the extra time by dawn & dusks with more opportunities.
We fly in Safari flight from Nairobi which is not only a thrilling experience , but also saves time’ . For us to reserve the time and energy to spend in Safari than in tedious road travel.
You will have full time expert guidance both on field and back at the camp. Be it related to wildlife or photography and post processing
We explore the savannah in a 7-seater Land Cruiser, with just 4 pax in it.. giving ample space to move-around, sight and shoot..
Last but not least, a flying mara expedition at this price tag is a steal, do check it out.
