• You may also see predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, and wild dogs, as well as zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, hippo, and many other animals in the park. Visit the Mara River, where dangerous crocodiles rest while waiting for food to come to the water. Here, you can also see other water animals and hippos.
• Then return to the picnic site, where you will have lunch near the migration corridor that wildebeests usually use when migrating from Serengeti in Tanzania to Maasai Mara in Kenya, crossing the Mara River.
