Please, help me choose a 2-3 week safari tour.
It should include wildebeest migration, crossing rivers in Masai Mara (the BBC crocodiles catching wildebeest stuff).
It should also give good selection of other wildlife, especially black rhino.
It should also keep an eye on birds.
If it includes spotlighting, it would be ideal.
I want a tour which is professional bird/mammal, rather than general tourist safari. I want also maximize wildlife viewing.
I would definitely save on quality of lodges.
Any advice? Local operator?
What about the timing? It looks that most tours target the area in April, but the wildebeest cross in late summer/autumn.
Are Golden-breasted Starling and breeding plumage Standard-winged Nightjar possible to combine with above?
One problem is that I find difficult to distinguish good wildlife tours from standard tourist stuff. Also, it is not easy to judge if a tour price reflects e.g. it goes 1 day into a place which deserves 3 days.
Please PM me if you don't want to advertise/criticize businesses publicly.
best,
Jurek
