Masai Mara National Reserve
You will have breakfast at the camp and proceed for a morning game drive. Lunch boxes will be ready for a full day. You will embark on an afternoon game drive in the reserve until sunset. You can visit a Maasai village in the afternoon (pay directly).
The Masai Mara offers a unique variety of animals. This hilly region is humid and fertile as the Mara and Talek Rivers carry water year-round. These rivers are full of crocodiles and hippos, with their banks covered in thick forest, which gradually makes way for bush and grassland. The abundance of water and food is why the Masai Mara hosts so many animals. The Masai Mara is a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park and has the greatest population of wild animals in Africa. A particularly dramatic spectacle, the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras, takes place between July and November.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Mara Bush Camp.
