Full-Day Game Viewing in the Mara

Full-Day Game Viewing in the Mara

Awaken early to the sounds of the wild and set off on a sunrise game drive, the best time to witness predators on the move before the day heats up. Marvel at the golden light casting over the endless plains, where lions, cheetahs, and hyenas may be on the hunt, while herds of elephants and buffalo roam peacefully.

Return to camp for a hearty bush breakfast and some leisure time—relax by the pool, watch wildlife from your veranda, or simply soak in the tranquility of the wilderness.

In the afternoon, head back into the reserve for another exciting game drive, with opportunities to encounter the Big Five and other iconic species such as giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests. Optional activities can include a Maasai village visit to experience the culture and traditions of the Maasai people, or a hot air balloon safari (pre-booked) offering a bird’s-eye view of the Mara followed by a champagne breakfast.

As the day ends, enjoy a sundowner and return to camp for dinner beneath the stars.

Deep Exploration of the Mara Wilderness

Deep Exploration of the Mara Wilderness

Rise early for another adventure-filled day in the heart of the Mara. After a light breakfast, set out on a full-day game drive with a packed picnic lunch to allow you to explore deeper into the reserve. This gives you the chance to follow wildlife along the Mara and Talek Rivers, where hippos and crocodiles thrive, and—if traveling during migration season—witness the dramatic wildebeest river crossings.

Your guide will take you to prime viewing areas where predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards often stalk their prey. The open savannah also provides excellent photographic opportunities of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and countless bird species.

Enjoy your picnic lunch under a shaded acacia tree before continuing your wilderness exploration. Later, savor a scenic sundowner in the bush as the African sky transforms into hues of gold and crimson.

Return to camp for dinner, storytelling by the campfire, and a final night immersed in the magical sounds of the Mara.
