   You will be picked up from the airport or your city hotel and be driven to Masai Mara National Reserve. Located in southwest Kenya, the Masai Mara is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife reserves. Together with Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, it forms one of the most diverse and spectacular ecosystems in Africa and is arguably the world’s top game viewing destination. The reserve is globally famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as the annual Great Migration, when vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles move between the Serengeti and Masai Mara from July to October.

   Day 4

   Game Drive -Serengeti National Park

   View full size

   Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is home to more than two million large animals, including over a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles. Large predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey, which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals—including rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares—also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 bird species.
