Day 7

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, you will have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
The Great Migration is one of the most impressive natural events worldwide, involving wildebeests, Thomson’s gazelles, topi, elands, and zebras. These animals migrate north around July from the Serengeti plains in search of fresh pasture and return to the south in October.
Your dinner and your overnight stay will be at the camp.
