Exploring Samburu

You'll set out for an early morning game drive in the Samburu Reserve for the whole day. The morning is usually the most popular game-viewing time. During the early hours, the temperatures are low, thus providing a favorable atmosphere both for the game and the viewer. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards roam the vast grasslands in search of their next meal - it may be an unsuspecting impala or even a small animal like a warthog. The spectacle of nature unfolding is always amazing to watch from the pop-up roof. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp/lodge.

Explore Masai Mara

Start the day by embarking on an early morning sunrise game drive within the reserve. Early mornings are the perfect time to spot animals as they are highly active, allowing for spectacular photography.

After the game drive, return to the lodge to freshen up and delight in a lovely breakfast. After breakfast, you will leave for a full-day game drive across the reserve. Did you know that the Masai Mara is one of the Seven Wonders of the World?

At the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, Masai Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of thousands of wildebeest as they cross the Mara River. It is a true sight of 'survival of the fittest,' as the animals are surrounded by massive predators such as lions and crocodiles around the Mara River. The Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos) are all residents of the reserve. The black rhino population in the reserve is the most significant in Africa!
