Masai Mara Safari

Safari summary

A 3-day safari in Masai Mara promises an unforgettable adventure in one of Africa's most renowned wildlife reserves. Located in southwestern Kenya, Masai Mara is an extension of the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania and is famous for its incredible biodiversity, especially during the annual wildebeest migration.

**Day 1: Arrival and Afternoon Game Drive**
- You'll likely arrive at your chosen accommodation in or around Masai Mara in the morning.
- After lunch, embark on your first game drive in the afternoon. The open savannahs and rolling hills of Masai Mara are home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros), giraffes, zebras, and numerous antelope species.

**Day 2: Full Day Game Drive**
- Spend the entire day exploring the vast landscapes of Masai Mara. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times for wildlife sightings.
- Witness the spectacular sunrise over the plains and the wildlife starting their day.
- Visit the Mara River, where crocodiles and hippos reside, and perhaps witness a river crossing if the timing coincides with the annual wildebeest migration.
- Enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve, surrounded by nature.

**Day 3: Morning Game Drive and Departure**
- Start your day with a morning game drive, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures when animals are often more active.
- Capture some last-minute photos of the stunning wildlife and landscapes.
- After breakfast, check out from your accommodation and, depending on your schedule, you might have another game drive en route to the exit gate.
- Depart from Masai Mara with memories of an incredible safari experience.

**Tips:**
- It's advisable to bring binoculars, a camera, and comfortable clothing suitable for both warm days and cooler evenings.
- Follow your guide's instructions for safety and wildlife conservation.
- Respect the natural environment and the animals' space.
- Stay hydrated and carry sunscreen.
