Day 6 – Mara

Spend the day game viewing in the Mara with morning and afternoon game drives inclusive. All meals and overnight at the camp. Your Wildlife Safari guide may suggest a longer game viewing drive with a picnic lunch from your safari lodge. The Masai Mara Game Reserve is named after the Maasai people who are the traditional inhabitants of the area. The “Mara” in Maa language means “spotted” as an apt description for the circle of trees, scrub, savannah and cloud shadows that mark the area. Mara is well known for its breathtaking spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration. Technically, the Mara is an extension of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park thus offering one of the world’s most rewarding wildlife arenas. The Mara River, Talek and Sand River are major rivers that drain the reserve. Hippos submerge in the river while crocodile sunbathe on the riverbanks, mouth agape and waiting for prey at which to strike with lightning swiftness.
