2. Day 2: Masai Mara Game Reserve

   • Eat breakfast. Embark on a full day of game viewing with a picnic lunch; explore this part of the Northern Serengeti Ecosystem, where the great wildebeest migration occurs at the beginning of August. Months before the migration, the herds ‘assemble’ in Serengeti in readiness to cross into Masai Mara. The plain is covered with these animals.

   • Hear grunts and other animal sounds, and territorial fights are commonplace. The migration now declared the Seventh Wonder of the World, occurs from the end of July to September. Africa has a long history of capturing the imagination of travellers, a continent of dramatic contrasts that gives you an unforgettable and remarkable experience, whether it’s in amazement of watching thousands of wild beasts struggling across a rushing river that is littered with crocodiles waiting for their prey, makes the world’s premier wildlife spectacle.

   • Spend the afternoon on a game drive in search of the black manned lions, which the park is famous for. A lion making a kill can be witnessed in the late afternoon, or a leopard in a tree enjoying the meal he has dragged up to avoid disturbance and detection. This reserve has hilly savanna, rolling grasslands, and gallery forest on the Mara River and its tributaries; the ‘big Five’ are positively represented here. The large predators are the lion, leopard, and cheetah. The smaller predators are the hyena and jackal. The large herbivores are the elephant, rhino, Burchell’s zebra, hippo, buffalo, and giraffe. The smaller herbivores are the antelope and bucks. The Maasai ostrich, the world’s largest bird, is found in the park.

   • Choose optional activities at an extra cost:

     • A visit to the Maasai villages.

     • Hot air balloon taking off in the beautiful early morning; you drift above the browsing game and have tremendous opportunities for unusual photographs. What could be more uplifting than an early morning safari in a hot air balloon flying over the vast plains of Africa? Witness an African Sunrise s a plethora of wildlife roams the land beneath you.

     • At the end of the flight, you land on the plains in the midst of this enchanting Savanah champagne; breakfast is laid out with the aroma of sausages, eggs, and bacon sizzling over a charcoal fire.

     • Drive leisurely fashion with game viewing on your way back to your camp.
