Masai Mara
Masai Mara
After breakfast, you will head out for a full day game drive, with a picnic lunch, to the Mara River. Your morning and afternoon game drives will take you in search of the “Big Five” and the other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan reserve. You will see giraffe, bat-eared fox, grey jackal, spotted hyena, impala, hartebeest and wildebeest. Elephant, buffalo, zebra and hippo are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking in the shade after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next. Cheetah and leopard are harder to spot but reasonably common. The ultimate action to look for is the annual wildebeest migration where millions of these grass eaters move from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass to eat. Later in the evening, you will return to lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.
