Early morning your 5 Days Kenya safari tour starts with a pick-up and safari briefing by our representative. Board your van and drive towards the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve, via the beautiful savannah grasslands and plains in the Great Rift Valley with magnificent views of Mt. Suswa, Mt. Margaret, and Mt. Longonot.

This game reserve is among the 9 wonders of the world and is a renowned tourist destination in Kenya, famous for the wildebeest migration along the Mara River. The river is full of Crocodiles and hippos which traverse the Mara.

The reserve has high proportions of wildlife and above all one is sure to spot a pride of lions resting or hovering in the fantastic woodland savannah grassland, and also the big five. Other animals expected include; hyenas, antelopes, topis, dik-dik, and zebras among others.

We will enter the park via the Eastern park gate of Sekenani. We will enjoy a short game drive as we head to the lodge/camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 2:  Full Day Wild Game Viewing In Masai Mara With An Evening  Masai Cultural Tour

After breakfast at the camp, you will explore the park’s amazingly high concentration of game.

A full day of game drives with a picnic lunch at the Mara River as you enjoy the scenic view of the crocodiles resting on the brown-muddy river banks generates lasting African safari memories.

The rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara offer ideal game viewing and photographic opportunities and the grassy plains are broken by rocky outcrops which are favorite midday resting places for Lion.

This is where millions of Wildebeest cross the Mara River from the Serengeti National park of Tanzania to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve of Kenya – an annual spectacular event, which brings along thousands of plains game and predators to the Mara, making the park a beehive of ‘wildlife activities’.

Late afternoon can be spared for a visit to the Maasai village to be enlightened on the Maasai culture and perhaps enjoy a Maasai cultural dance.

You will embark on a game drive through the park that takes you to the Lakeshores to watch the amazing birds and flamingos. These birds make lake shores appear pink out of their concentration. You will also proceed to the baboon cliff just to have a look at the whole park from an aerial view.
