Rate our itinerary (Masai Mara early September) - is this location ok/enough?
We’re finalising our honeymoon trip to Kenya & Zanzibar for this September, and am looking for feedback on our itinerary
It’ll be our first time on safari, so we chose to focus on one location to be able to really immerse ourselves rather than loads of travel time.
Is this the right choice, are we missing out by not seeing more? Is Masai Mara a good choice for that time of year or will it be extremely crowded? We won’t be specifically tracking the great migration or trying to see a river crossing, but obviously it would be great to see some of it.
Any feedback on the lodge and it’s location?
Thanks in advance!
