At 17.00hrs you will be picked from your hotel by Masai Morans (warriors), who will guide you through a walking safari in the dense Masai Mara as you head later for a cultural tour to some of the old tribes that still exist.

Head to Masai Mara National Reserve

Head to Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we will have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided, or a morning and afternoon game drive. This reserve is well known for its black-maned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during one game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tamed that 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. For the bird enthusiast, almost 400 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, many hawks and falcons, 5 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard), and many more.

Dinner and your overnight stay are at the camp/lodge.

Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options (price increment).
