Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
Wake up early for a full day of safari exploration. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives, witnessing the Mara’s legendary wildlife, including the elusive leopard and cheetah. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife and it's one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Stop for a scenic bush picnic while your guide shares fascinating insights about the Mara’s ecosystem, flora, and fauna. Proceed with the game drive till evening around 6pm.

Serengeti National Park
Spend the entire day immersed in the Serengeti’s unparalleled wildlife. Explore both the northern and central regions of the park, observing diverse habitats and abundant species.
As you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. Scenic picnic lunches in the heart of the park enhance your safari adventure.

With walls, 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino.
The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet.
The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.
