You'll stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of an enormous valley system said to be visible from outer space. You'll arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch. After lunch, you'll embark on an afternoon game drive, which will allow spotting of the magnificent wildlife in the park.
