Depart early in the morning for the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the last great wilderness areas where wildlife thrives in vast, largely undisturbed habitats.

The journey offers scenic views of rolling savannahs and traditional Maasai lands. You will arrive at your lodge or camp in time for lunch and a short rest before heading out for an exciting afternoon game drive.

These include numerous eagles, hawks, and falcons, several types of vultures, storks, and bustards—among them the Kori bustard, known as the heaviest flying bird.
