Depart Nairobi and drive along the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara, one of the finest game
reserves in Africa. Stop over by the remote region of Loita Hills, home of the Maasai people. This is one of few places
where they still practice their traditional way of life with little influence from the western world. Stop at Tepesua
Village where you’ll be welcomed by Maasai Warriors through traditional song and dance. Meet your Maasai hosts,
take a walk to the community village, and enjoy a fascinating talk full of insights into this ancient culture. The village
offers support, safety, and economic growth through the ‘Tepesua Widows Income Project,’ where widowed
women sew eco-friendly handicrafts to sell to visitors and locals. Learn about village life and be shown around a
traditional Maasai home and cattle enclosure.
Thereafter, head out for an afternoon game drive in a 4 x 4 cruiser. The Masai Mara is the quintessential African
experience, with sparse open plains, dramatic skies, and some of the world's most tremendous animals. Here lies
arguably one of the finest game reserves on the continent. This is the land of the famed and fated annual migration
of wildebeest. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

Destination: Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

 

Rise a little before dawn to begin your game drive with packed lunches. As the sun rises, you shouldn't have any
trouble spotting wildlife, as this is often one of the most active times of the day for animals. Witness the wonderful
procession of wildlife that inhabits the area. Wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle are plentiful, and you might even spot
predators keeping a casual eye on their movements. Elephants, giraffes, and elands are also commonly sighted,
along with plenty of bird life. The area is known for its rolling green plains and riverine woodlands, and amongst the
many species of game, a black-maned lion, leopard, or cheetah might appear, with some luck. After what is
hopefully an exciting game drive, you will return to the camp and relax during the heat of the day. As dusk falls, a
variety of animals might be visible in the vicinity of your camp also.
An optional balloon ride over the Masai Mara at sunrise is highly recommended, an unforgettable experience for
many travelers. Enjoy a balloon ride over the Mara. Glide through the dawn, sometimes at tree height, enjoying
amazing photo opportunities. Upon landing, you'll be treated to a bush breakfast before returning to your vehicle.
This is a popular activity with limited places, so it's offered as a pre-booked activity which guarantees you a place. If
you choose to wait and book this activity locally on the ground, you may risk missing out on a place.
