After settling in, enjoy a hearty lunch before heading out for your first game drive.
Your guide will take you through the reserve, where you'll have the chance to spot wildlife such as zebras, giraffes, buffalo, and the Big Cats. The Masai Mara is known for its high density of lions, and cheetahs, so keep your eyes peeled!

After the morning game drive, head back to the camp for lunch and some relaxation while engaging in other optional activities. In the afternoon, you’ll head out again for another game drive. Depending on the season, you may also witness the Great Migration if it coincides with your visit (July to October).
