Set off early in the morning for an unforgettable journey to Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the last places on Earth where wildlife thrives in its natural, undisturbed state, in the same vast numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern extension of the expansive Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara is famous for its awe-inspiring seasonal migration, where thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and their predator counterparts create a spectacle like no other. Arrive in time for lunch, followed by an exciting afternoon game drive.

Day 2

Safaris in Masai Mara Game Reserve

Safaris in Masai Mara Game Reserve

After a hearty breakfast, embark on a full day of game driving, with a packed lunch provided. Maasai Mara is renowned for its black-manned lions, as well as its rich diversity of resident wildlife. It's one of the few places where you can spot the Big Five in just a single morning game drive. The cheetahs here are so habituated to humans that they often seek shade beneath vehicles, with some even climbing onto the roof to get a better view of potential prey. For bird enthusiasts, the Mara is a paradise, boasting nearly 500 recorded species, including 16 species of eagle, numerous hawks and falcons, 6 vulture species, 8 stork species, 4 types of bustards (including the Kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird), and 9 sunbird species.
