Return to the camp for breakfast. The rest of the morning at leisure or partake in optional activities, a visit to Masai village to see their nomadic life this at extra cost. After lunch at the lodge, there is a chance to relax by the swimming pool before an evening game drive. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Optional Balloon Safari
A well worth it and recommended activity in the Masai Mara National Reserve is the balloon safari early in the morning; you will be woken and driven to the departure site. Once in the air, the view of the surrounding landscape, the rising of the sun between the mountains and the congregation of the animals at the river is beautiful. This all concludes with a champagne breakfast and memories of a lifetime.

Enjoy an early morning tea or coffee and then spend a full day enjoying the Masai Mara. This reserve features breathtaking vistas, panoramic vast rolling plains, hills and woodland groves. All of these are well-watered by the lovely Mara River, which bisects the reserve from north to south.
The Mara is also home to the largest population of lions in Kenya. These magnificent beasts spend most of the day sleeping in the shade of acacia trees. Vast herds of buffalo, zebra, impala, hartebeest, giraffe and other wild beasts also roam the plains. Meanwhile, the cautious topi may also be seen standing sentinel on earth mounds on constant lookout for predators.
The waters of the Mara River are home to crocodiles and pools of hippo while the acacia woodlands and riverine forests are favored by leopards and elephants. The open savannah and dry bush areas play host to the plains game and their attendant predators.
