Day 3

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It's an unmissable highlight of any holiday in Kenya. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and attendant predators. Masai Mara is without a doubt, one of the greatest destinations in African safaris. You'll arrive in time for lunch and then have an afternoon masai village visit from 4:00 pm.

Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp/lodge.

Note: It is possible to upgrade to more luxurious options (at an extra cost).
