Day 2 Drive to Masai Mara National Reserve

Game includes: elephant, black rhino, buffalo, wildebeest, Burchell’s zebra, hartebeest, various antelope and gazelle, lion, leopard, giraffe, elephant cheetah, hippo, crocodile and much more. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as it existed a century ago. Today you might opt to visit a Maasai Village (price not included) for a very special cultural experience. See how they interact with modern society and the way they use local plants in ceremonial and medicinal ways. Your overnight stay is on full board basis excluding drinks.

Is the Serengeti Worth Visiting

Every now and then a destination becomes so famous that people start questioning whether it can possibly live up to its own reputation. Serengeti National Park is one of those places. You have seen the photographs, watched the documentaries, read the articles, and somewhere in the back of your mind a small but persistent voice is asking whether the reality can genuinely match the legend. Whether all those wildebeest, all those lion prides, all that extraordinary golden savannah stretching to the horizon is truly as breathtaking in person as it looks on a screen. The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that the Serengeti does not just live up to its reputation it quietly exceeds it in ways that no photograph or documentary has ever managed to fully capture, and here is exactly why.
