Day 2: Full-Day Masai Mara Game Drive

An early morning game drive provides an excellent opportunity to see wildlife when many animals are active.
You will explore different areas of the reserve while your driver-guide searches for wildlife and explains the animals, landscapes and ecosystem.
A picnic lunch can be enjoyed during the full-day game drive, allowing you to spend more time in the reserve without returning to the lodge for lunch.
Depending on the day's route and park conditions, you may explore areas around the Mara River, where hippos and crocodiles can sometimes be seen.
During the annual wildebeest migration season, generally between July and October, the Mara River area can also be associated with migration activity. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, however, because animals move freely through the reserve.
Continue your game drive into the afternoon before returning to your camp or lodge.
Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge.
