Nairobi City - Masai Mara National Reserve

Breakfast then at 0700am head to Masai Mara and reach there in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we will spend some time getting used to the African wilderness. After having tea, at 4:00 PM, we will go for a game drive to search for the 'Big Five' animals that roam the vast plains. The 'Big Five' is a collection of mammals that were once known for their might to be hunted down. Masai Mara is also home to the Mara-Serengeti Ecosystem. This ecosystem hosts an annual million-strong migration of wildebeest and zebras in search of greener pastures. Our experienced driver guide will take us out into the open savannahs to spot big game, gazelles, and other animals. This phenomenon made this ecosystem the world's seventh new natural wonder of the world. At sunset, we will return to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay at Julia's River Camp.
