Day 4

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

You may spend the entire day exploring the park after breakfast with packed picnic lunch or enjoy the usual early morning and late afternoon game drives in the Masai Mara National Reserve. It is Kenya's most famous park with an extraordinary density of animals, including all the Big Five. In July - October, it's also the scene of the great annual migration, when hundreds of thousands of wildebeests, plus smaller numbers of zebras and antelopes, arrive in search of fresh grazing from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park in the south. The predators follow the herds, so this is the best time to witness plenty of animal action, especially if you get the opportunity to see the wildebeests cross the Mara River, where they have to dodge crocodiles, too. You will return to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
