Full-Day Safari in Masai Mara

This is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under vehicles. Several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey! For bird enthusiasts, there are almost 500 species recorded here. Among these are 16 species of eagles, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 species of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at your camp.

On this day, we can plan an optional visit to a Maasai village (at an additional cost). Alternatively, you can go on a hot-air balloon safari (optional, at an extra cost).
