Day 4: Masai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, enjoy full-day game viewing in Masai mara which offers absolutely unique variety of animals, the reason being that this hilly region is both humid and fertile and is crossed by Mara and Talek rivers full of crocodiles and hippos. The abundance of water and excellent availability of food are the reasons Maasai mara has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa.
Drive by the river, which is a great place to spot wildlife. This area is a photographer delight where, with any luck, you will be able to take amazing pictures of the hippos and crocodiles in the water. The small size funnels animals into a tight space; park rules allow for off-road driving, which means that guests can venture into plains with hundreds and thousands of animals.
Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
