We arrive at the camp in time for lunch followed by some brief moments of resting throughout the afternoon. Leave the camp for our first game drive at around 4.00 PM.

Day2 - 3

Today shall be a game viewing extravaganza! The Mara as is popularly known remains the most exciting wildlife eco-system. Masai Mara reserve hosts the highest and varied concentration of wild animals than any other park in the region. The scenic appeal of this tree studded savannah plains, its moderate climate and diversity of wild game species makes it a one stop shop for game viewing activities. We shall traverse the reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing encountering the big five and more of the lesser game. You shall visit the Mara river where you may watch hippos & crocodiles or maybe the great migration (July –October). We have an option of leaving the camp with picnic lunch or returning for lunch and leaving for another game drive in the afternoon. Optional activities such as Baloon Safaris and visits to Masai Village can be arranged on this day.
