(Optional Hot Air Balloon Safari ) Full-Day Exploration of the Mara

Every day in the Mara comes wrapped in mystery: our day 4 of our safari package is no different. As always, our gold-certified guides do their magic when it comes to wildlife spotting; their attention turned to wildlife that escaped us in previous drives.
You spend the morning astonishing at Mara’s variety. The drive only stopping for a quick lunch in the heart of the wild. It is all sunburned grasslands, rivers, fantastic lookouts, and acacias from then, all of which form magnificent backgrounds for wildlife watching.
The game drive can end with sunset watching, music, and a glass of wine at hand at
Your chosen lodge. You can also end the day with a brilliant night of star-gazing and storytelling around a campfire.
Smart Tip: start the day with a hot air balloon ride and get to view Maasai Mara Game reserve followed by a champagne breakfast in the heart of the Mara.( cost at USD 450 per person).
