Request this journeyQuestions people ask
Is a week enough for Kenya?
A week adds Ol Pejeta without cutting the Mara short.
When is the migration in the Mara?
The wildebeest are usually in the Masai Mara from July to October, crossing the Mara river in between, though the timing moves from year to year with the rains. The Mara is good all year for resident game.
How is the journey priced?
The camps on it take enquiries only and set their rates by season, so we price the whole plan for your dates, with the light aircraft and park fees set out alongside the stays.
