The savannah opens up as you approach the park, providing a breathtaking setting for your safari. After settling into your lodging of choice, you’ll have a few hours to relax before an afternoon game drive takes you into the Mara to see the incredible variety of animals that live there. All five of the African Big Five—lions, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos—will be there, as will a few other species, such as giraffes, cobs, hyenas, etc. When the day is finished, head back to your lodge for some rest, supper, and a good night’s sleep.

Day 2: Maasai Mara National Reserve

The splendour of Maasai Mara awaits you yet again today. On the second day of your safari, you will focus on the Maasai Mara and everything it has to offer. Go on morning and afternoon game drives to take in the savannah scenery, search for the Big Five, and soak up the atmosphere of this famous location. Before visiting a Masai hamlet to meet the locals, you’ll have a picnic lunch in the middle of nature, making memories that will last a lifetime of your stay in Masai Mara. Your next stop following the encounter should be at your lodge for some rest, supper, and the night.
