Masai Mara National Reserve

After an early breakfast, you'll set out for a full day of game viewing with a packed lunch in hand. At midday, your guide will select a safe and picturesque spot to enjoy your lunch amidst the sounds of nature—animals howling, birds chirping, and the Mara River flowing through the savannah. After continuing the game drive into the afternoon, you'll return to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

You may also opt for a balloon safari today. Your adventure will begin before dawn as you assemble at the launch site for a safety briefing. The flames from the burners will light the darkness as the crews inflate the balloon itself. As the dawn breaks, the hot air balloon will fill and then rise. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-colored canopy, you’re in for a a wildlife viewing adventure from an entirely different perspective

Note: Guests can choose to split their safari day into morning and afternoon game drives. This arrangement needs to be organized with your guide.
