Day 3: Explore Masai Mara Game Reserve

A full day is spent in Masai Mara with morning and afternoon game drives. You will have the opportunity to spot the BIG FIVE including lion, elephant, leopard, black rhino, and buffalo. You will visit the Mara River which nearly borders Kenya and Tanzania. You will have a chance of seeing Hippos and very large Nile Crocodiles, who lay in wait for prey as wildebeest crosses on their annual quest to find new pastures.

Each year Masai Mara plays host to the world’s greatest natural spectacle, the Great Migration of wildebeest from Serengeti National Park, Tanzania To Masai Mara, Kenya. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh life-giving grass in the north brings more than 1.3 million wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon. At the Mara River, they mass together on the banks before finally plunging forward through the raging waters, creating a frenzy as they fight against swift currents and waiting crocodiles.
