Continue by road driving through the lower portion of the Great Rift Valley and across the iconic savannah wilderness to the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve.
On route, you might notice a Maasai Moran (warrior) holding a single stick or a spear, standing on one foot or herding hundreds of cows and sheep. The Maasai Mara is characterized by its vast acacia-dotted plains and lakes, and its spectacular escarpments where the movie ‘Out of Africa’ was filmed.
But the animals of the Maasai Mara are the real stars of the show, providing drama and intrigue against a backdrop of spectacular scenery. Arrive at the camp in time for lunch, followed by some leisure hours for a siesta before you depart for an afternoon game viewing drive, and return back to the camp before sunset.

Remember to keep a sharp lookout; you may witness a dramatic hunt, a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree, or a herd of elephants protecting their young from predators.
The Mara has one of the richest wildlife ensembles, as well as being the backdrop for the spectacular world-famous annual wildebeest migration. The migration is considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world, especially as they cross the Mara River.
The reserve has over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara and patience is usually rewarded with unique sightings. All meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) will be served at the camp.
