One of Africa’s most famed wildlife reserves, Masai Mara is home to a fantastic year- round concentration of wildlife and the annual Great Migration, where over two million wildebeest stampede across the plains. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch before an afternoon game drive carries you into the depths of the reserve. Go in search of the Big Five and over 450 species of birds and wildlife; the rolling grasslands allow for easy viewing, and the reserve offers some of the highest odds for spotting big cats. DAY 8: MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE B/L/D Witness the Kenyan landscape bathed in an early morning glow as you set out on a sunrise game drive. Sunrise is one of the most picturesque and rewarding times to spot wildlife, who congregate around waterholes in large herds. Enjoy breakfast al fresco in the bush, surrounded by the pink hues of the rising sun, before enjoying a visit to a traditional Maasai Village and learn about daily life. Return to your lodge for the remainder of the morning at leisure, giving you time to sit outdoors and take in your settings. After lunch at your lodge, re-join your group for the last game drive of your trip. DAY 9: MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE TO NAIROBI B/L/D Depart Masai Mara Game Reserve in the morning as you travel back to Nairobi. Along the way, stop at a traditional village where you’ll gain insight into the long standing traditions of the Maasai tribe. Immerse yourself in the song, dance, colourful robes and everyday activities of the local villagers. Travel onward to Nairobi where you will visit the Giraffe Centre before a farewell dinner and overnight stay, which brings your memorable travel experience to a close. DAY 10/11: NAIROBI TO THE UK B After breakfast, visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and enjoy an up-close encounter with young orphaned elephants at the most successful elephant rescue and rehabilitation programme in the world; the centre helps vulnerable animals with the aim of re-introducing them to the wild.
