Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast from your hotel in Nairobi, we will pick you up and take you to Masai Mara. We drive through the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti Plains, famously known for its spectacular great Wildebeest Migration. It is home to the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. Lunch at our camp and relax before departing for the afternoon drive. Other animals in the reserve include the Masai giraffe, eland, and thousands of plain game, including impala, zebra, tophi, and both Thompson's and Grant's gazelles.

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast at 6:30am, you will leave for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. The midday meals will be at the picnic site close to the Mara River migration point. Later, you will return to the camp for dinner.

The thrill of the search for the great wild animals continues. Large herds of herbivores graze on the plains, and cheetahs and leopards hide in their locations. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya's wildlife viewing areas. Some 95 species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and over 400 bird species have been recorded in the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the Big Five.
