Day 1 - Nairobi - Maasai Mara National Reserve
You will be picked from your hotel at 8:30am for journey south along the floor of the dramatic Great Rift Valley to Maasai Mara National Reserve - an extension of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park also known as The 7th Wonder of the World because of the Great migration, witnessed every year between June and September when millions of wildebeests and zebras cross Mara River from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya in search of food and water and it is famous for its wide variety of resident wildlife all year round . With Lunch at Narok Town you will arrive Maasai Mara National Reserve in time for an afternoon game drive where you may have a chance of seeing the ‘Big Five’, different varieties of birdlife and the best savannah vegetation in the world.
This is serene vast country of breath-taking vistas, a panorama of vast rolling plains and rounded hills, of intermittent groves of acacia woodlands and dense thickets of scrub. The Mara River and its tributaries which are margined by luxuriant riverine forest bisect the whole land. The famous Maasai tribesmen live within the dispersal area of the game reserve.
And in every direction there are seemingly endless herds of game animals. Return to the Camp/Lodge for dinner and overnight.

Day 2 – Maasai Mara National Reserve
Full day drives for the day to absorb the beauty and splendor of the Mara. In this country of breathtaking vistas, view its vast assemblages of plains game together with their associated predators.
Mara has the largest population of lions to be found in Kenya. Other animals to be seen here include Buffalo, Black Rhino, Hippopotamus, Leopard, Cheetah, Common Zebra, Coke's Hartebeest, White-bearded Gnu, Oribi, Warthog and Thomson's and Grant's Gazelles. The bird life of Mara is as profuse as its mammalian fauna. This day you have 2 options. Option (1) you can choose to go on the usual 3 hours each morning and afternoon game viewing drives or (2) choose to go on the Half Day or Full day wildlife viewing drives with picnic lunch boxes to be taken at Mara River watching Crocodiles and Hippos . Option 2 is highly advisable during the Great Wildebeest Migration where you get a much better chance of seeing the famous river crossing. You can also participate in the Hot Air Balloon Safari over the plains at an extra cost which is a great way of seeing the length and stretch of the park as well as enjoying the views below.
During your stay you also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Maasai people also at an extra cost to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Dinner and overnight stay are at the lodge/ camp.
