Day 2: Full Day Game Drive in Maasai Mara
Spend the full day exploring Maasai Mara in search of the Big Five and also get a chance to look for the big cats which are extremely elusive. As you do the drive you will visit the Mara river where you get a chance to see the hippos and the Nile crocodiles. Thereafter, you will have a picnic lunch in the park under a croton tree overlooking the vast landscape and grazing animals. Later, you will continue with a game drive en route out of the park.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.
