Day 2

Extensive Game Drive in Masai Mara National Reserve

You will spend a full day in this famous reserve searching for a wild game with an option to enjoy a balloon safari. You can enjoy a picnic lunch or have lunch at the lodge. The Mara is the land of African legend. Lions are abundant throughout the park, as are elephants, giraffes, and a variety of gazelle species and zebras. Cheetahs and leopards are also regularly seen and, less commonly, rhinos. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September. This is when the big animals and their predators are present in abundance during the time frame of this trip. Several species of the bee-eater (the flying rainbow that heads the list of Mara's birds) occur in the reserve. Apart from the wildlife, the Masai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai, who may be seen around the borders of the park, the Morans. You will return to Elewana Sand Mara Camp in the evening for dinner and your overnight stay.
