Day 2: Lake Nakuru - Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, you will depart for Masai Mara Game Reserve—the land of vast migrating herds. You'll arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon, you'll embark on a game drive to get a closer look at the Mara.
The amazing wildlife experience continues. On the plains are large herds of herbivores grazing, cheetahs and leopards hiding in their locations. Masai Mara is the heart of Kenyan tourism with large species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino). Your picnic lunch will be at the Mara River migration point. After your picnic lunch, you will have some rest before embarking on your late afternoon game drive until late in the evening. We will later drive back to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

The Masai Mara is world renowned for its large abundance of wildlife estimated to be in excess of 3 million individuals and the highest concentration of big predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, jackals and serval cats. you'll view its vast assemblages of plains game together with their associated predators: buffalo, black rhino, hippo, zebras, Coke's hartebeests, white-bearded gnu, oribi, warthogs, and Thompson's and Grant's gazelles. This is one of the main reason why doing the 4 days safari is justified. You will wake up for an early morning game drive.
