Pick up from your Nairobi Hotel by 06:30 am followed by a departure for Maasai mara game reserve. Your first break shall be at the viewpoint of The Great Rift Valley whose view of the valley below is splendidly panoramic and Narok town for a break for refueling the safari car for a final stretch to Masai Mara game reserve only to arrive in the mid-morning at a round 10:30 to 11:30 hrs at the lodge. I recommend that you check in and relax by the swimming pool as you wait for an early hot lunch. After lunch at around 15:00 hrs set off together with your well-dressed, disciplined, and knowledgeable driver-guide for an afternoon game viewing until 18:30 hrs when the park closes.  This will then mark the end of the introductory game within the savannah grassland. The rest of the evening will be at Keekorok lodge where dinner will be served in good time. Guest are free to recharge their phones and cameras at no extra cost.

A full day (Morning and afternoon game if you opt to) is set aside today for game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. Our morning and afternoon (full day) game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets that make for spectacular photos. Remember, many games are coming your way when you are in the park leaving you with an option of counting the blessings that nature holds for you as you view them in their natural habitat.

The Mara Reserve covers 1,510km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodlands, following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in southwest Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara Park you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, the wildebeest migration. Elephants, buffalos, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers.

It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common. The ultimate action here is without a doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration when millions of these grazers move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October for the new life circle to begin after a life-threatening move across the strong jaws and sharp canines of East Africa crocodile found within the mara river and talek river.

Hot-air balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at an extra cost of 450 us dollars per person. Please let us know if you are interested when making your reservations with us here at Back Of Africa Adventure.
