After a drive of approximately 5 to 6.5 hours, arrive at your lodge or tented camp in Masai Mara. Complete the check-in formalities and enjoy a freshly prepared hot lunch before taking some time to relax. Later in the afternoon, head out on your first exciting game drive through the reserve. Explore the vast savannahs in search of the Big Five and a variety of other wildlife in their natural habitat while enjoying the stunning African landscape.
