Masai Mara

Masai Mara

After breakfast at the lodge, you will proceed for a full-day day game drive in the park with packed lunch boxes. Your guide will make an attempt at spotting all of the Big Five. If your visit coincides with the migration season, you will be tracking the migration. You will watch in awe and with bated breath as the thousands of wildebeest cross the crocodile-infested river. Hundreds, even thousands, will die in the water and be trampled upon by the following herds. Those that are lucky to make it to the other side, will be met by predators who will be eagerly waiting to make prey of them. It is a dramatic experience that will leave you speechless.
