Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Safari in the Masai Mara is a special experience – the numbers of animals that go about their lives across these plains are astounding. Acacia trees provide shade for leopards; water holes provide sustenance for herbivores and hunting opportunities for the carnivores.

Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve

Take the early breakfast as an opportunity to head out in the morning sun to get the best photos of the park. You’ll spend your second full day on safari in the Masai Mara watching the animals, following their trails, and understanding the lifecycles of the delicate and exquisite ecosystems at play in the landscape.

Lunch as a picnic ensures you get to stay in the wilds of Africa for as long as possible, without tracking back to your accommodation. If you’re lucky enough to be on safari in Africa during the migrations of the herds, this is your perfect chance to trace them. Herds of buffalo and wildebeest range over the lands looking for pastures new to graze.

As you explore the depths of the park, you will have chance to watch the sun begin to fall and the wildlife change pace as the temperature dips. Animals come to life and get their final feed and watering before the sun goes down and their territory becomes immeasurably more dangerous.

  • Accommodation at your camp or lodge
  • Overnight stay inside Masai Mara National Reserve
  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
