Travel through the Great Rift Valley at the start of the day, then head into the reserve with a local guide for a shared game drive in a 4x4 vehicle.

Look out for the Big 5 and other wildlife across the Mara plains, enjoy a hot lunch at Ashnil Mara Camp along the banks of the Mara River, and continue your safari with more opportunities for animal sightings and photos.
