Masai Mara

After breakfast leave for a full day safari with picnic lunch box and spend the whole day with wild animals. Maasai Mara Reserve, 588 sq miles of open plains, woodlands and riverine forest. This world famous reserve supports an array of animal species with large grazing herds of Zebra, Giraffe, Gazelle, Buffalo and Topi. The Acacia woodlands are alive with bird life. The Mara and Talek rivers are home to Hippos and Crocodiles. Everywhere there is a profusion of life. Each year the Mara is the staging ground of one of nature’s greatest spectacles, the migration of over 1.3 million wildebeest from the Serengeti. A surging column of life, these massive herds pour across the plains, bringing the Mara to life. The profusion of grazing animals makes the Mara a perfect hunting ground for predators. Mara is truly the Kingdom of the Lion, and these majestic predators dominate the landscape. At around 1700 hours return to the camp for diner and overnight.
