The immense herds of wildebeest and zebra are a magnificent sight, matched only by the drama of the predators who lie in wait for them.
For more experience at an extra cost, you will have the alternative of visiting the nearby Maasai community and witness their lifestyle and their traditional culture, you can also have a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah and witness the herds of wildlife emerging into the day.
