Day Seven - Lake Naivasha – Masai Mara Game Reserve

This morning we will drive through the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara National Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains, famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest migration, and is also the home of the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. 

Take your first glimpses of the vast savannah and wildlife on your way to the camp. Lunch at the camp and then depart on an afternoon game run. The Mara Game Reserve is one of the greatest wilderness areas of the world where large mammals are varied and easy to see. 

Evening game drive – 3.30 p.m. to 6.45 p.m.

Day Eight - Discover The Masai Mara

The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs continues today during extensive game runs. On the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs.

Wake up to the sights and sounds of one of the world’s premier wildlife destinations. In the Masai Mara Reserve live 95 species of mammals and 570 species of birds; an impressive number, making this area a unique destination for game safaris, one of the best places in all of Africa.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Check-in at Ashnil Mara Camp

Ashnil Mara Camp is a large resort-style tented safari lodge in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. The camp overlooks the confluence of the Mara and Olkeju Rivers, with forty luxury tents set amongst the riverine forest. This is a fairly new addition to the region, with a modern feel and more of a hotel atmosphere than that of a traditional and remote small safari camp. Having said that, it will appeal to those who appreciate an upbeat family-friendly lodge with all the modern facilities and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the entire property is fenced. But out beyond the fence lurks magnificent wildlife; cheetah, leopard, large prides of lions; and of course the wildebeest of the great migration making their way across the landscape.
