A picnic lunch is served at the Mara River which is the border of Kenya and Tanzania, and also the scene for the yearly wildebeest migration.

After lunch, continue with your game drive, covering the park in sections. You will return to the camp at 17h30. An optional visit to the Maasai villages or a nature walk with the Maasai guides can be taken. Later, return to the camp for meals and overnight at the camp.
