Day 2
Masai Mara National Reserve

Watch as predators begin hunting and herds of herbivores move across the open grasslands in the soft morning light. Return to the camp for breakfast before heading back into the reserve for a full-day game drive. The Masai Mara is renowned for its exceptional wildlife and is one of the best places in Africa to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration. During the migration season, more than 1.5 million wildebeest, together with zebras and gazelles, move through the Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water. Depending on the season and wildlife movements, you may have the opportunity to witness dramatic river crossings at the Mara River. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the wilderness before continuing your game drive and later returning to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
