Full Day game drive at the Masai Mara

Maasai Mara National Reserve
Wake up to a warm cup of coffee and biscuits at 0600hrs and depart for a morning game drive in the park to look out for the migration and the predators. You might stumble upon an cheetah chase or a lion hunt. Not a single minute is like the other in the Masai mara. This 2 hour morning game drive is the best chance to see the cats hunting. Due to the wet grass, the cats prefer to walk along the warmer game tracks and this presents you with a great chance to see them up close.
