Day 3

Maasai Mara

Maasai Mara

After breakfast, proceed for game-viewing drive in the Mara at 0630hrs and 1600hrs respectively with mid morning and early afternoon spent at own leisure in your camp. Maasai Mara offers breathtaking views, an extraordinary density of animals including "the Big Five" and may varieties of plains game. An impressive feature is the annual migration of wildebeests from the plains of the Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara's grasslands tracked by predators: lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena, and circled by vultures as their journey unfolds. Apart from the seasonal migration, game viewing is excellent year round. Game includes elephant, black rhino, buffalo, plains zebra, hartebeest and big cats. The rivers are home to hippo and crocodiles. There are about 452 bird species, 53 of which are raptors. In the evening, enjoy a delicious dinner at the camp and relax at own leisure.

The Carnivore is justifiably referred to as Africa’s Greatest Eating Experience. Twice voted amongst the world’s 50 best restaurants by UK based Restaurant magazine, the Carnivore is an amazing open-air meat specialty restaurant that has strikingly different food service and atmosphere to any other restaurant in Kenya. Whole joints of meat - legs of lamb and pork, haunches of exotic meat, rumps of beef, sirloins, racks of lamb, spare ribs, sausages, chicken wings, skewered kidneys, even crocodile, and other tasty morsels - are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a huge, visually spectacular charcoal pit that dominates the entrance of the restaurant.
