After breakfast, you will commence the drive west past Mount Longonot and via Narok to the Masai Mara National Reserve to arrive for lunch at the respective camp/lodge. Afternoons are spent at leisure, with optional activities, e.g. visiting the Maasai cultural village or taking a walking safari, flanked by Masai warriors in the middle of the rolling African savannah. You'll learn about the medicinal plants that the Masais use and how they mutually co-exist with wildlife in the Mara ecosystem.
The Masai Mara National Reserve (also known by the locals as the Mara) is a large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in the Mara Region. It is named in honor of the Maasai people (the ancestral inhabitants of the area) and their description of the area when looked at from afar: Mara, which is Maa (Maasai language) for "spotted", an apt description for the circles of trees, scrub, savannah, and cloud shadows that mark the area.
