Have an early breakfast, check out, and proceed to Masai Mara. A pleasant drive across the dramatic Great Rift Valley brings you through Narok Township, (a major Masai administrative centre) to one of the stellar events of your safari – Masai Mara, Kenya’s most precious wildlife sanctuary. The jewel in Africa’s crown, Masai Mara is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife.  Her 320 square kilometers of open savannah, woodlands and tree-lined rivers create an eco-system which supports huge numbers of bird and mammal species. 

Lions are found in abundance throughout the park as are elephant, giraffe, a variety of gazelle species, and zebra.  Cheetah and leopard are also regularly seen and, if lucky, you may also find rhino.  Game viewing is never dull in the Mara, and patience is often rewarded with unique sightings: a pride of lion stalking their prey; a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree; male wildebeest sparring to attract females into their harem; or even a herd of elephant protecting their young from opportunistic predators.

The Masai Mara is home to many members of the colorful Masai tribe, who may be seen around the borders of the park – morans (warriors) loping across the plains, young boys herding goats, or elders grouped under a tree discussing the matters of the day. After lunch, relax before departing for the afternoon game drive. Dinner is at the lodge tonight. [B,L,D]
