Nairobi To Masai mara National Reserve
You will depart Nairobi for Masai Mara. You will pass through the lower, scenic Mau escarpment road into the Rift Valley to the 1,500-square-kilometer Masai Mara National Reserve, arriving in time for lunch.
Go on a late afternoon game drive. A lion making a kill might be witnessed, or a leopard in a tree enjoying the meal he has dragged up to avoid disturbance and detection. This reserve has hilly savannahs, rolling grasslands, and a gallery forest on the Mara River and its tributaries. The "Big Five" are positively represented here. The large predators include lion, leopard, and cheetah, and smaller predators are hyena and jackal. The large herbivores include elephant, rhino, Burchell’s zebra, hippo, buffalo, and giraffe, while the smaller herbivores include antelopes. The Maasai ostrich, the world’s largest bird, is also found in the park.

Day 2
Masai mara National Reserve
Masai mara National Reserve
This day offers a full-day game-viewing drive. You wake up to the sights and sounds of Masai Mara. After breakfast, you will embark on a game-viewing drive and explore this part of the Northern Serengeti ecosystem, where the great wildebeest migration takes place between July and October every year. Months before the actual migration, the herds "assemble" in Serengeti in readiness for the crossing into Masai Mara. The plain is covered with these animals. Grunts and other animal sounds are heard, and territorial fights are common.
The Masai Mara is also home to many other animals, which we will explore. At every sighting, we allow you enough time to watch and take photographs as you internalize these moments. Depending on the sightings, you may be able to hear the sounds as the animals grunt and chew.
We also drive to the hippo pool to view the hippos in their natural habitat. In the evening, we return to the hotel to enjoy the sunset.

The park has the highest concentration of elephants, which can easily be spotted. Other animals include cheetah, wild dog, giraffe, zebra, crocodile, mongoose, hyrax, dik-dik, lesser kudu, and porcupine (nocturnal). The park hosts over 600 species of birds.
