Masai Mara National Reserve

Today's itinerary is flexible and can be planned with your guide the evening before.

You may choose to enjoy a relaxed breakfast and then set out at 7:30am for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch, returning to your lodge in the late afternoon around 4:00pm.

Alternatively, depart early at 6:00am for a sunrise game drive. Early mornings are the best time to spot wildlife at its most active, with a strong chance of witnessing a hunt in progress. Return to your lodge for breakfast and some time to relax before heading out again on an afternoon game drive, accompanied by a packed lunch. Stop at a scenic picnic spot to enjoy your meal before continuing to explore until the park closes. Return to your lodge around 6:00pm for dinner and an overnight stay.
