On a visit to the Mara River, you will get to see the huge crocodile as they bask in the sun, and alongside them, you will also find hippos as they yawn their way to the surface of the water. During the great wildebeest migration, this river turns into a valley of death, and only the fittest survive. Herds of wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes cross the Mara River to seek greener pastures. This scene is among the 10 wonders of the world as it happens yearly. After proceed to the camp as the darkness sets for check-in, dinner, and overnight.
