Day 2
Maasai Mara National Reserve
Maasai Mara National Reserve
Spend an unforgettable full day in the Maasai Mara. After breakfast, we embark on a thrilling full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is famous for its black-maned lions and rich variety of resident wildlife, making it one of the few places where you have the chance to witness the Big Five in a single morning drive.
The cheetahs here are often so accustomed to vehicles that they seek shade beneath them during the heat of the day, with some even climbing onto the roof to survey the plains for potential prey.
For bird lovers, the Mara is a paradise with nearly 500 recorded species, including 16 species of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four species of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world’s heaviest flying bird), and nine species of sunbirds.
Dinner and overnight accommodations will be at a comfortable campsite or lodge, where you can relax and reflect on the day's extraordinary experiences.

Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park
Spend the entire day exploring the Serengeti with a flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. As you reach the top of a hill, the vast, endless plains of the Serengeti stretch out before you, as far as the eye can see.
The name "Serengeti" means "endless plains" in Kiswahili, and this expansive 6,900-square-mile (18,000-square-kilometer) park is home to over 2 million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles. The abundant prey attracts large predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also call the Serengeti home, along with nearly 500 bird species.
In the afternoon, enjoy a thrilling game drive as you make your way to the campsite.
Dinner and overnight accommodations will be at a public campsite or a private tented camp/lodge.
