It can be fascinating to watch the social interaction between pride members especially the playful ways of lion cubs under the watchful eyes of their mothers. You can also take part in the optional activities such as an early morning hot air balloon ride, flying over the plains teaming with herds of wildlife or a visit to a Maasai village all at an extra cost. Return to the camp for lunch before setting out for an evening game drive where you will be driven over rolling grassland dotted with a mixture of acacia trees and the plain game which includes large herds of elephants, zebras, gazelles.
