You'll stop briefly along the way to enjoy the breathtaking views of the world's largest The Great Rift Valley, which is said to be visible from space.

Your afternoon game drive begins at 3.30 pm and gives you the opportunity to see the reserve's incredible wildlife, which includes Big Cats such as Lion, Leopard, and Buffalo as well as Rhino, Elephant, and other plain games that call Maasai Mara home.
Your driver-guide will do his best to show you not only the "Big Five," but also the "Big Nine." By 6.30 p.m., return to your tented lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Mara River
Before breakfast and after lunch, you'll go on two game drives today.
Southwest Kenya's 1510km2 Masai Mara game reserve follows the Mara and Talek rivers' looping meanders. One look at its typical open savannah and amazing wildlife explains its appeal. Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeest can be seen throughout the vast Masai Mara Park. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are abundant. Lions are often seen resting after a big meal or hunting on the plains. Leopards and cheetahs are rare but widespread.
After crossing the mara and talek rivers, where East Africa crocodiles have strong jaws, millions of wildebeest migrate north from the Serengeti in July and August to find greener grass. In October, they return south to start a new life cycle.
The rest of the evening at the lodge on a full board basis.
