Masai Mara National Reserve

At dawn, you will set out on an early morning game drive to watch the wildlife begin a new day before returning to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast, head back into the wilderness for a full day of game drives. The Masai Mara is famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, during which more than 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, move from the Serengeti in search of fresh pasture and water. If you are lucky and visit at the right time of year, you may also witness the spectacular Mara River crossing.

Amboseli National Park

Today’s wake-up call is followed by tea or coffee before you set out on your morning game drive. This is generally the best time to spot wildlife in action, as temperatures are cooler and animals are still very active. It is also a magical time, with soft light across the landscape, birds awakening, and the sense of a great adventure beginning to unfold.

After this morning experience, return to your lodge for a late breakfast. Spend the day at your leisure, enjoying the lodge facilities and relaxing before lunch is served. In the evening, embark on another game drive and watch as the predators 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, return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
