Day 5,6+7: Masai Mara Game Reserve
On day 5 there's a morning tranfer by plane to Masai Mara.This game reserve is part of the Mara - Serengeti ecosystem and is the most popular park in East Africa. It has a high density of easy to see game: Elephants, Buffaloes, Leopards, Lions, Rhinos, Giraffes and many types of plains game. The rivers crossing the park are home to Hippos and Crocodiles. 452 bird species, 53 of which are raptors, have been recorded.

Although game is available throughout the year the park becomes a life’s wonder during the annual migration from the plains of the Serengeti to the Mara grasslands of Wildebeest, Zebra and Gazelle. These are tracked by predators: Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Hyena and circled by Vultures as the journey unfolds. To witness the migration plan your safari for July through October.

With wide-open savannah, lone trees and rolling grasslands Masai Mara is the kind of African landscape that you see in documentaries and movies.
