Day 2: Take an extensive tour of the Masai Mara. Leaving shortly after dawn, you spend the whole day driving through different locations of the Reserve, watching and learning about different species of animals from our expert guide. Take a break from the mid day heat to have picnic lunch beside the Hippo Pool as you watch hippos swim or bask lazily. By the time you return to the camp in the evening, you’ve hopefully seen the elephant, the rhino, the lion, the giraffe, the hippo, the buffalo, the zebra, the leopard and a lot of other species including birds.
