Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll wake up early today for breakfast. Be ready for a great full-day game drive and picnic lunch along the Mara River. Roll down the windows or stand up through the customized pop-up roof hatch and enjoy this unhindered 360 views, and the possibilities for what lies ahead. Masai Mara is one of the lushest reserves in Africa and is globally renowned for the great migration when thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson's gazelles travel to and from the Serengeti. The park is also known for providing excellent predator sightings in its natural habitats thanks to its relatively large populations of lions, cheetahs, and leopards. You will also see lots of elephants, Masai giraffes, common zebras, impalas, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelles, topi, hartebeest, black-backed jackals, spotted hyenas, and more.
