Day 7

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

We spend the whole day exploring the Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives where we will have the opportunity to spot the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, rhino and buffalo). We will have an option of going out with picnic lunch boxes to spend the entire day in the park. We will also have the option to visit a local Maasai village at an extra cost or a hot-air balloon ride at $450 per person.

Masai Mara is one of the best-known and most popular reserves in Africa where the wildebeest migration can be seen with thousands of animals. Outside of the migration season, hundreds of animals can still be seen. The plains are full of wildebeest, zebra, impala, topi, giraffe, and Thomson's gazelle. Also regularly seen are leopard, lion, hyena, cheetah, jackal and bat-eared fox. Black rhinos are a little shy and harder to spot but are often seen at a distance. Every July, August and September, wildebeest travel from Tanzania's Serengeti plains, northwards to the Masai Mara.
