After a brief rest, set out on an exciting afternoon game drive. You can expect to encounter a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and, if lucky, the elusive leopard, completing the famed Big Five. You may also see hippos, crocodiles near the Mara River, and herds of wildebeest, especially during the migration season. You'll return by sunset for dinner and an overnight stay.

Enjoy the evening by a campfire or under the stars, immersed in the magic and sounds of the African wilderness.
