Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll begin your day with a hearty early morning breakfast, energizing you for an exhilarating full day of wildlife viewing in one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations. The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to the Big Five and is renowned as one of the most dynamic wildlife ecosystems on the planet. It boasts the highest concentration of large mammals and a diverse range of ecosystems, from savannahs and woodlands to riverine forests, making it a prime destination for wildlife enthusiasts. You'll enjoy your picnic lunch along the Mara River or the Masai Mara Savannah. Depending on the season, you might also get the chance to witness the spectacular Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing pastures, typically occurring from July to October. Later, you'll return for dinner and spend the night at the Sarova Mara Camp.

Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll enjoy another exhilarating day of wildlife viewing drives in the stunning Masai Mara.

This flexible schedule allows you to take breaks and relax at the lodge or camp, where you can enjoy amenities such as a refreshing swim, a spa treatment, or a leisurely meal. For an unforgettable adventure, consider taking a hot air balloon ride at dawn.
