Day 4: Masai Mara National Reserve
We make our way to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. We arrive at our accommodation in time for lunch and will enjoy an afternoon game drive in the reserve. The one main aspect that makes the Maasai Mara so well-known is that it is joined to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and therefore allows the free movement of wildebeest during the Great Migration.
Accommodation: Mara Eden Luxury Camp or similar
Day 5: Maasai Mara National Reserve
Today we spend on morning and afternoon game drives in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. The Maasai Mara was named after the Maasai, a tribe of nomadic traditional herders, who live within this protected park. This area is home to a great variety of game including lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, wildebeest (gnu), giraffe, buffalo, jackal, topi, gazelle, impala and elephant. Hippopotamus and crocodile are plentiful in the rivers here, and the bird life is also abundant.

Day 6: Maasai Mara National Reserve
We have another day to explore this fascinating wildlife reserve. You also will have an opportunity to view wildlife from a different perspective through a nature walk. We leave our vehicles behind and head out for a morning walking safari in one of the private concessions adjacent to the Maasai Mara. This gives you an opportunity to learn animal tracking and obtain a closer interaction with the wildlife.
