The world’s greatest show‚ set on stage in the Masai Mara mass migration.  Let us experience it first hand as seen on National Geographic.  The adventure of the lifetime.  Every year between July to September, over 1.5 million wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes will migrate from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in search of food and water.  However, for the animals to get to Masai Mara, they will have to cross the dangerous Mara river.   That is filled with hundreds of crocodiles waiting for them.  The dramatic contrast between life and death to be witnessed during the Great Migration.  Wildebeests crossing the dangerous Mara riverDespite comprising only 0.01% of Africa’s total landmass, more than 40% of Africa’s larger mammals can be found here in Masai Mara.Wildebeests in Masai MaraSome of the big mammals found in Amboseli National Park, Masai Mara National Park, and Lake Naivasha areaAmboseli National Park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery it is dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro which, at 5,896 meters, is the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephant accompanied by the lions, buffalos, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons, gazelles, hippos, and wildebeest.  Not to mention the 400 over species of birds.Amboseli National Park, Mt Kilimanjaro in the background, photo credits to amboseli.comThe raining season also brings the thousands of pink Flamingos to Lake Naivasha.Pink flamingos at the lakesWe will visit a Masai Mara village, the Maasai tribe is a unique tribe and well-known for its high jump dance.High jump dance to impress the girlsSunrise at Masai MaraMid-range tentsI want to end the trip with a visit to Africa’s largest slum and possibly the world largest slums.  The Kibera slum, home to 60% of Nairobi people.  Why do I want to visit a slum?  It is not because Obama has visited the slum, it is because I feel is important that I experience first-hand what others may be experiencing that I can’t possibly imagine myself to be in.  I want to understand their lives and I hope you to join me on this journey.  It is my belief that with understanding it brings about empathy and compassion.  Our fees will create employment for people living in Kibera Slums.Kibera SlumsAll this will cost us USD$1970 for this 9D trip and we need 10 people to make this happen.  I have used 1USD to 1.45SGD to estimate the trip cost, I will refund the difference if Singapore dollars appreciates against US dollars during the time of exchange and you will have to top up the equivalent Singapore dollars if Singapore dollars depreciates. Itinerary Day 10910 hrs: Meet at Changi Airport and transit at Mumbai airport1640 hrs: Leave for Nairobi from Mumbai airport2015 hrs: Arrive in Nairobi, overnight at Nairobi hotelDay 20730 hrs: Breakfast, leave for Amboseli National Park1200 hrs: Reach Amboseli National Park1500 hrs: Afternoon game drive in Amboseli National Park1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Amboseli mid-range campThe highlights are Mt Kilimanjaro and wildlife in Amboseli National Park.Day 30730 hrs: Breakfast, leave for Amboseli National Park1200 hrs: Morning game drive in Amboseli National Park1500 hrs: Afternoon game drive in Amboseli National Park1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Amboseli mid-range campThe highlights are Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru and wildlife in Amboseli National Park.Day 40700 hrs: Breakfast0800 hrs: Leave for Lake Naivasha1400 hrs: Lunch1600 hrs: Sunset boat ride for hippos and flamingos and walk Crescent Island1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Lake Naivasha mid-range lodgeThe highlights are pink flamingos, hippos in Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakaru.Day 50700 hrs: Breakfast0800 hrs: Leave for Masai Mara1300 hrs: Lunch1500 hrs: Afternoon game drive in Masai Mara1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Masai Mara mid-range tentThe highlights are the countless wildebeest, zebras, and the wildlife such as big 5.Day 60700 hrs: Breakfast0800 hrs: Morning game drive in Masai Mara1300 hrs: Lunch1500 hrs: Afternoon game drive in Masai Mara1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Masai Mara mid-range tentThe highlights are the countless wildebeest, zebras, and the wildlife such as big 5 and Mara river crossing.Day 70700 hrs: Breakfast0800 hrs: Morning game drive in Masai Mara1300 hrs: Lunch1500 hrs: Arrive in Nairobi Kibera Slum1900 hrs: Dinner, overnight at Nairobi hotelThe highlights are the countless wildebeest, zebras and the wildlife such as big 5 and Kibera Slum.Day 8 (Free and Easy but I am planning for)0700 hrs: Breakfast0800 hrs: Visit Nairobi National Museum (optional)1300 hrs: Lunch1500 hrs: Visit Masai Mara market for shopping (optional)2000 hrs: Dinner, leave for Nairobi Airport2359 hrs: Leave for BangkokDay 92100 hrs: Reach Singapore Things to bring:1) Head Lamp2) Outdoor Attire (long pant recommended) 3) Shoes recommended for walking trekking Shoe.
