Lake Nakuru – Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, depart for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive takes approximately 5-6 hours through the Great Rift Valley's dramatic landscapes. The Masai Mara holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators. Arrive in time for lunch, then head out for an afternoon game drive. Dinner and overnight.

For bird enthusiasts, almost 500 species have been recorded. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness, and consider an optional hot-air balloon safari or Maasai village visit. Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
