Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve
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. Masai Mara offers a unique variety of animals. This hilly region is both humid and fertile as the rivers Mara and Talek carry water the whole 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 are the reasons for the Masai Mara hosting so many animals. The Masai Mara is a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park and has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic spectacle, the annual migration of huge herds of Wildebeest and zebras, that takes place between July and November.
Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Emayian Luxury Camp.
