At dawn, you wake up for the morning game drive to see animals rise for a new day then go back to the lodge/tented camp for breakfast. After breakfast, you go back to the wilderness for a full day of game drives. Masai Mara is famous for the Wildebeests Migration where more than a million and a half herds move in from the Serengeti accompanied by zebras and gazelles in search of pasture and water.

Full Day Game Drive in Amboseli

The morning wake-up call is followed by tea or coffee before setting out for your morning game drive. This is generally the best time to spot the wildlife in action, as the temperatures are cool and the animals are still very active. It is also a magical time, with the subtle light dappling the landscape, the birds awakening and the sense of a great adventure beginning to unfurl. After these magical morning moments, transfer back to your lodge for a late breakfast. Then spend the day at leisure to enjoy the facilities the lodge has to offer and relax as you wait for lunch to be served. In the evening, embark on another game drive and enjoy seeing the predatory animals begin to stir from their heat-of-the-day slumber. Similarly, their prey becomes even more active and alert just as the sun is beginning to sink below the horizon. After this unforgettable experience, transfer back to your lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
