Go on an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve.

As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeests, zebras and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we have a full-day game drive, with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so used to vehicles that they seek shelter from the hot sun under them. Several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. These include 16 species of eagles, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustards (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds..
