Day 5
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, you will embark on a game drive in the Masai Mara at 6:30am and 4:00pm. The Masai Mara is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, including the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos) and numerous species of plains game.
One of the most impressive events is the annual migration of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles from the Serengeti plains. This migration typically begins in late June, when they cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the grasslands of the Mara. They are often pursued by predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Visitors during early July and August may witness the dramatic river crossings!
Beyond the seasonal migration, game viewing is excellent year-round. The rivers are also home to hippos and crocodiles.
You can enjoy a delicious dinner and overnight stay at the camp in the evening.
You will spend the night at Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge.
