Masai Mara Full Day

This day you will be exploring the Masai Mara extensively. Packed lunch will be served picnic-style inside the park close to the Mara river.
The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife, and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many cheetahs are so used to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them, and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
Return to the camp in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
