Your expert guide will lead you through the open savannahs, woodlands, and riverine areas where lions, cheetahs, leopards, and other predators roam. Keep your eyes peeled for the “Big Five” as well as herds of buffalo, elephants, gazelles, and elands.

Pause for a packed lunch by the iconic Mara River, a serene spot known for its seasonal wildebeest migration and the presence of hippos and crocodiles. As you enjoy your meal, soak in the tranquil atmosphere, accompanied by the melodies of singing birds and the gentle rustling of the wind. The afternoon continues with more game drives before returning to your lodge for dinner and another restful night.

After the drive, return to your lodge for breakfast before checking out. Begin the journey back to Nairobi, with a stop for lunch along the way.
