3 Days Masai Mara Safari
After an early breakfast, you will set out for a full-day game drive across Masai Mara's vast wilderness. The day will be dedicated to exploring different regions of the reserve, tracking big cats, watching large herds of wildebeest and zebras, and observing hippos and crocodiles along the Mara River. If visiting during the Great Migration (July to October), you may witness dramatic river crossings as wildebeests and zebras attempt to navigate past waiting crocodiles. You will enjoy a packed picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve, allowing you to maximize your time in the wild. In the afternoon, continue searching for elusive leopards resting in trees and rhinos hidden in the bushes. You may also visit a Maasai village, where you will learn about the traditional way of life, watch cultural dances, and see how the Maasai people coexist with wildlife.
