Masai Mara game drive

Have breakfast at the camp, then leave before 08h00 with a packed lunch for an extensive 9-hour game-viewing drive. The Masai Mara has the highest number of different species, and you will be lucky to see hundreds of them. A game drive to the Mara River is compulsory; if it is migration time, you will witness the same; otherwise, you will see crocodiles and hippos at the river. Have a picnic lunch inside the park, then continue the game drive until 17h00. Later, exit the park and proceed to an optional 2-hour activity. You can relax at the camp, take a nature walk with Maasai warriors or visit the Maasai village. Dinner and overnight are at the hotel.
