All arrangements including hotel, game drives, food arrangements, personalised s (Read More)ervices by İmara Destinations was excellent
We started our trip from New Delhi to Nairobi via Mumbai by Indigo flight. Dennis was there to welcome us at the airport early in the morning. We started off to Samburu, had lunch on the way had a relaxing evening at the resort. We had a wonderful game drive next day at the samburu national reserve, saw a leopard, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, etc from close quarters. We went to ol Pajeto conservancy, fed blind rhino, saw chimpanzees and other animals including two horned rhinos, proceeded to Nakuru saw pelicans, flamingos etc there, Masai Mara we stayed for three nights and had two game drives.
Could see lots of lions, cheetah with its prey as well as a pregnant cheetah, zebras, giraffes etc. we also saw ostriches and other animals and birds there. We then went to Naivasha had a boat ride with walk and see crocodiles and hippos and crescent island visit walked with zebras, impalas and wildebeest but couldn’t see giraffe there. Due to floods last year many parts of crescent island got submerged so could only see part of the island. Our last destination was Amboseli park with game drive there. Overall it was a highly satisfying and interesting experience. İmara Destinations did a very good job of taking us to the exact spots where animals would be seen uninterrupted. Well done İmara Destinations. Thanks to Dennis and Murray for it

Masai Mara Travel Essentials
Best Time to Visit The best time to visit Masai Mara is from July to October, during the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross from Tanzania’s Serengeti into Kenya. The weather is dry (10°C to 28°C), and wildlife viewing is exceptional. December to February is another good period for clear skies and predator sightings. March to May is the long rainy season, making travel difficult but the landscape lush and prices lower. June and November are shoulder months offering fewer crowds and good visibility.
Ideal Duration & Popular Itineraries Masai Mara safaris usually last 3 to 5 days, often combined with Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, or Amboseli. Popular formats include:
3 Days: Daily game drives in the Mara, focusing on Big Five sightings.
4 Days: Adds a visit to a Maasai village and sunrise hot-air balloon safari.
