Day 1: Fly from Nairobi to the Masai Mara
From Wilson Airport, Nairobi, board a scheduled light aircraft to the Masai Mara where your guide will be waiting to escort you to the camp, sited above the Mara River, arriving in time for lunch. Settle into your vast elegant marquee, with its bush bathroom overlooking the river valley, offering fantastic views. Furnished with comfort and style as the foremost priority, complete with an indoor fireplace, you can sit back and enjoy your home from home for the next three nights. Take an afternoon and night game drive and scout out the area with your private guide and spotter. Enjoy the easy raconteur of your host as you dine en famille in the cosy dining room.

Day 2-3: Masai Mara
With a private vehicle, guide and spotter and unlimited game drives, over the next few days you determine what you want to do and when. You can even change your mind as you go along, you have complete freedom to tailor make the safari to your needs and interests. With picnic breakfasts and lunches available, you can leave camp early and catch the morning bush activity. Dine al fresco in a shady spot, before continuing with your game drive. Alternatively, return to camp for meals, the choice is yours. Guided short walks and full day walks are also available, an excellent way to appreciate the scenery and wildlife that surrounds you and get a better feel for the pulse of Africa

Day 4: Transfer to the Serengeti
After a final morning game drive or walk, it’s time to head to the airstrip for your flight to the Serengeti. The light aircraft flies to the border between Kenya and Tanzania, where there will be a vehicle to drive you across the border, where normal immigration formalities occur. Continue on to a Tanzanian airstrip to board another light aircraft bound for the Southern Serengeti. The drive takes around one hour between the two airstrips. As you fly over the Serengeti, enjoy looking down onto the vast landscape of the Serengeti plains. You’ll arrive at the southern Serengeti airstrip in the late afternoon, where a guide will be ready to drive you to camp. The camp is a mobile camp, set up only during the wildebeest birthing season, mid-December to May, on the Southernmost extreme of the Serengeti’s short grass plains, the optimum place to view the annual birthing spectacle. The camp is small, with only 6 spacious luxurious tents, lavishly decorated and eminently comfortable.

Day 5 - 7: Explore the Serengeti
Witness the wonder of over 1.8 million wildebeest covering the mighty plains, many heavily pregnant and ready to give birth. In the space of 3 - 4 weeks between three to four thousand calves are born, all ready to stand within minutes. Watch them take their first steps on wobbly legs and follow their mother. Keep your eyes peeled for the predators, who are quick to take advantage of the vulnerability of the youngsters and mothers and feast on this glut of prey. Spend the next few days with your private guide, spotter and vehicle traversing the great plains, filled with an ever moving mass of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. The sheer numbers, sounds, sights, joys and horrors are mind-boggling. This is a safari that will be forever etched in your memory.

Day 8: Fly to Kilimanjaro
Wake up early for a final game drive and breakfast before heading to the airstrip to board a flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward travel arrangements.

Our Travelers Say
We travelled with Falcon Safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana for 16 days. Falcon designed a wonderful trip with private guide to the most interesting sites in both countries. The organization of the whole trip was excellent, flights within the country, accommodation and activites. The guides were very knowledgable and told us a lot about the countries, their history, people, economy and much more. We visited the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Victoria Falls Tour and a number of national parks in both countries.
Rhino tracking was a real adventure! We had tremendous further game drives and saw very many animals - we did the Big Five. We had much more Victoria Falls Activities than planned and enjoyed very much.We strongly recommend Falcon Safaris to everyone planning a trip to Southern Africa and East Africa.
Wonderful trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana with excellent organization and very competent guides
Our Consultant Vimbai was very helpful and accommodating. We stayed at the Elephant hills hotel which was nothing short of amazing.Our activities included a helicopter flight, dinner cruise as well as a morning game drive. All the activities were absolutely amazing.
Exceptional!
We worked with Gertrude to schedule and organize everything and she did an excellent job. I asked a lot of questions via e-mail and she answered everyone in a timely helpful manner. Our guide at Victoria Falls was also great. He met us at the airport, provided a thoughtful tour of the Falls and got us to our next guide in Botswana. Our lodgings at River View Lodge were just as described- very comfortable and excellent food. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful. If I had to do it again I would arrange a morning boat ride as well. We only did the sunset boat rides and they were the high point of our entire trip- we saw so many animals and our guide was very knowledgeable. Just a great experience. Our lodgings at Oddball's Enclave was rustic and we loved it. So great to disconnect from the world for a bit. Leo, our guide, was the best - got us out and about, saw fantastic wildlife and got back to camp safely each time. Doc manages the camp so well. This whole trip was planned and organized by Falcon Safaris and we could not have been happier.
Fabulous, well planned trip
Falcon safaris have given my the correct advice with excellent service. The only suggestion will be to work closer with the lodges to confirm bookings as soon as possible. We have booked and pay our deposit a year in advance. We have only receive our final convermation from Chobe Safari lodge a week before departure. I do realize its not within your controle but with limit alternatives and a group of 14 people it becomes an issue to find alternative accomodation if the booking was cancelled.
Excellent and efficient service
