Vast and teeming with life, the Masai Mara beckons you for a full-day safari. Start before sunrise if you wish, capturing the wilderness as it awakens—lions returning from a night’s hunt, herds of wildebeests grazing, and elephants meandering across the plains. Depending on the season, you might witness the Great Migration’s breathtaking river crossings, where thousands of wildebeests and zebras brave the crocodile-filled waters. A picnic lunch out in the bush is the perfect moment to soak up the unending horizon. By late afternoon, return to your lodge or camp for dinner, recounting the day’s sightings beneath a canopy of stars.
