After breakfast, you will embark on a full-day game drive on the vast plains of Masai Mara National Reserve and enjoy a picnic lunch. Masai Mara National Reserve is an all-year destination characterized by rolling plains of grassland savannah with a high concentration of game in this part of Africa. You will have a chance to spot lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, hyenas, buffaloes, antelopes, baboons, and a wide variety of wild birds. In the Masai Mara National Reserve, you can quickly see 4 Big Five members. The reserve is known for the annual migration of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes between July and October. A visit to a Masai village at a minimal extra cost is encouraged because it gives a direct connection to the traditional way of living by the Masai community. In the evening, you return to your tented camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
You may opt for a balloon safari with a champagne bush breakfast at an extra cost and, after that, have a full-day game drive.
