The park also offers a clear view of the peak Kibo, of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Day7& 8: Explore the Masai Mara

For the next 2 days, you will have an intensive tour of the park by our professional guide. Mara Game Reserve is home to over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. This is where the Great Wildebeest migration happens.

Before you are two equally tempting options; you may opt to have two game drives with a lunch break at the lodge, or a full day game drive with lunch in the wild.

Maasai Mara Game Reserve is the most spectacular of all Kenyan parks and reserves, it covers an area of 700 square miles, and forms part of the Serengeti ecosystem.

Apart from the big five, there are lots of birds, including birds of prey. Cross your fingers and hope that there is going to be a hunt, as this is the most rewarding and exciting scene to see on a safari!!

The game drives will commence before sunrise for you to get a glimpse of the nocturnal animal behaviors, and end in the evening. At the end of the 2 days, you will realize that you can never get enough of the Masai Mara, as it will leave you yearning for more.

Day9: drive back to Nairobi

This is the end of the trip but certainly not the end of our relationship. You can make your arrangements for lunch, however, a coda of the tour will be dinner at carnivore restaurant, and then you will be taken to the airport for your outbound flight.
