Note that there is a luggage restriction of 12 kilograms on charter flights! Overnight at Elephant Pepper Camp.This Reserve is one of Africa's best known wildlife areas, and is part of the Serengeti ecosystem. A land of undulating hills and rolling grasslands it supports a large animal population. Even a casual visitor is treated to the sight of Lions in prides sometimes numbering more than thirty beasts with a handsome black maned male in dominance; a cheetah at great speed runs down its prey; a leopard in the lower branches with its kill.

In the Mara river there are crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks, and hippos  playing in the water. Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Topi, Gazelle are all in abundance, and during the months of July to September the great migration of Wildebeest and Zebras spill over from the Serengeti. The sight of these beasts legging it across the Mara River, avoiding both the crocodiles in the river, and the predators harassing them from behind is amazing, and the topic of some of the most spectacular photography ever seen.

Day 11   Depart

Early morning game activity, and then after breakfast you take the scheduled service flight back to Nairobi  [one hour approximately] .
