Masai Mara National Reserve

You can opt for an early morning balloon safari ride (available at an extra cost of USD $450.00 per person) over the vast Maasai Mara plains. Afterward, enjoy breakfast at the lodge and partake in morning and afternoon game drives. Maasai Mara, an extension of the Serengeti ecosystem, is a wildlife-rich paradise. It's renowned for its thriving lion population, including striking black-maned males. Witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration, where over 1.5 million wildebeest and other antelopes cross the formidable Mara River, battling for survival. You're likely to spot large herds of elephants, and if luck is on your side, leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos. The Big Five are all here, and African buffaloes are a common sight. Capture these moments with your camera, and enjoy an immersive visit to a Maasai village in the evening. Wrap up the day with dinner and an overnight stay at Miti Mingi Eco Camp, on a full board meal plan.
