Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we will embark on a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch. The Masai Mara is renowned for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where you have an excellent chance of spotting the “Big Five” during a morning game drive. Some cheetahs are so accustomed to vehicles that they may seek shade under them or even climb onto the roof for a better vantage point to spot prey. We will have lunch at the Mara River migration point, surrounded by the breathtaking Mara scenery, with hippos and zebras grazing nearby. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.
