During the afternoon’s game drive, you will see jackals, lions, wildebeests, zebras and many other species. You will also meet Kenya’s nomadic people, the Maasai, and get an insight into their lives as cattle-herding nomads. After familiarizing yourself with your lovely tented accommodations, set on the bank of the Mara River, you will take a drive through the famed reserve. Throughout the day elephants, giraffes, zebras and impalas come for a drink while a large hippo pod rests lazily in the river. The location is spectacular. In between, you will relax in the outdoor pool with its incredible views or simply wander the beautiful grounds. No matter what time of year you visit, this is the heart of Africa.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
One day at Masai Mara is not nearly enough. You will be glad you have this second day to enjoy this part of Kenya. The morning and afternoon game drives will introduce you to buffalos, hyenas, cheetahs, antelopes and much more. While any time of year is wonderful for visiting Africa, those who visit between July and October will see the Great Migration, when zebras, Thomson’s gazelles and wildebeests travel across the Serengeti. It is a massive migration and is truly awe-inspiring. No matter when you visit, you will also have a chance to take a “walking safari”, or visit a local tribal village if you wish. You will learn about the Maasai way of life and how they have managed to retain their semi-nomadic customs even in today’s modern world when so much of their world is at risk. After all these adventures, you will be more than ready for a mid-day nap or a swim in the pool to escape the heat of the day.
