Maasai
Mara Game Reserve
This morning we explore the unspoiled
savannah of the Maasai Mara where magnificent events
unfold. Here we may savour a Bush Walk with an expert
naturalist guide, experiencing the world of the
Mara from the ground up — an invigorating
opportunity to stretch our legs and be a part of
the land. Or we may try a Hot-Air Balloon Safari.
Our accommodations are equally superlative at the
Governors Tented Camp or Kichwa Tempo Camp with
two nights under canvas, recalling the golden age
of safaris.

8
Maasai Mara Game
Reserve
The
search for great predators and perhaps even cubs
continues today during extensive game runs. On the
plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus
the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia
boughs. We also visit a Maasai village and glimpse
life so ancient and yet so enduring that it astonishes.
The true pinnacle of our journey to the Mara however
will be Bush Sundowners—a civilized cocktail
party staged in the untamed wilds of Africa.
