Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

You will depart after breakfast for Masai Mara arriving in time for lunch. Afterwards, head for an afternoon game drive. This is one of Kenya’s most visited reserves due to its extraordinary wildlife density, including the “Big Five” and many other varieties of plains game. The Mara River cuts through the Mara and Serengeti ecosystems, giving life to both reserves before finally pouring out into Lake Victoria. Impressive and most notable are the wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle that migrate by instinct from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara in Kenya. This journey is coupled with numerous obstacles, which makes it even more magnificent. Meal Plan: Full board.
