Explore, discover and experience the magic of the Masai Mara
Today you will explore, discover and experience the magic and 7th wonder of the world - “Masai Mara Game Reserve’’ a spectacular watch of the immense “Big-Five” Lion, Rhino, Buffalo, Leopard and Elephant and wildebeest migration from Serengeti Park, Tanzania, into Masai Mara, Kenya. The expertise and experience of our driver-guides will maximize your chances of seeing all the splendours of the Masai Mara and beyond. A family of cheetah sunning themselves sleepily on a rock, the drama of a lion making a kill just 15-20 feet away from you, or the thrill of an elephant charge. The trees in the distance turn out to be a giraffe’s family. The clump of bushes is a pride of lions. And the rock that moves may be a rhino lumbering out of your way. Proceed to the Mara River, where you’ll enjoy a sumptuous picnic lunch at the river. Return to the safari camp in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
