Day 2: Full Day Game Drive in Maasai Mara Reserve
Have breakfast and leave for a full day game viewing in the park. On this day, spend the full day exploring Maasai Mara in search of the big five, hippos and Nile crocodile. Thereafter, go for a picnic lunch in the park under a croton tree shade overlooking the vast landscape of the park.
It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the great migration. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras from the Serengeti (in Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna – lions, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and vultures.

Day 3:Horse riding and Maasai village
Breakfast and go for a 2 hour horse ride
Your hike will take you to areas with abundant Flora and Fauna. An equine Safari is of course best either at sunrise
or sunset, which gives you a true feeling of being one with nature. Depending on your equestrian level, Trot, Canter or even Gallop will be your Gait. Riding on the Siria Escarpment with its’ unsurpassed views is truly a very
unique and unforgettable experience in the African bush.
Experienced riders (after an initial riding assessment in the arena) will get the opportunity for some faster riding. The pace of riding is varied, between fast and
thrilling gallops alongside giraffe, zebra and other wild animal. We take time to indulge in some of the best birdwatching in the world.(Max weight of the rider: 85kg
Min aged: 8 years old)
Later return to the camp for lunch. Take a short rest and later have an evening visit to Maasai Village where you will get a chance to interact with the Maasai and get a glimpse into their culture, unique way of life and see first hand some of their customs and practices.
