You’ll head out into the Maasai Mara National Reserve for a thrilling game drive. The Mara’s vast savannah is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), plus cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and a variety of birds. The early hours are prime for spotting predators hunting and iconic herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, especially during the Great Migration (July to October).

Around midday, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the park. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal with breathtaking views of the Mara. After lunch, take a short drive to a nearby Maasai village, where you’ll immerse yourself in the vibrant Maasai culture.
