Masai Mara National Reserve

On this day you will have morning and afternoon game drives, with an optional early morning balloon safari ride (US$450.00 per person ) across the Masai Mara plain.

Masai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti ecosystem to the south. The game abounds here. The Mara is known for its abundance of lions—particularly the superb black-maned males. You will witness the great migration where over 1.5 million wildebeest and other antelopes cross the mighty Mara River. You will experience the battle between survival and hunger. You are also likely to see lots of elephants here often in large herds, as well as—if you're lucky leopards, cheetahs and rhinos. All of the Big Five are residents. You're sure to see the African buffalo. Get the cameras ready, stock up on film/tapes and enjoy yourselves! In the evening, you will visit a Maasai village. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at Miti Mingi Eco Camp.
